  Double decanted for about an hour before drinking. This wine is a bit disjointed. It has lots of acid intermixed with a bitter melon component. Not a lot of fruit left. The color shows some age and the nose is nice.

  Poured dark ruby into the glass with little sign of age. Initially, this had the distinctive nose of Hawaiian Punch and/or some gummy candy from my childhood. Fresh but sort of confected? Not terribly off putting, simply not what I would expect from a 1er Cru from Morey-Saint-Denis. After a few hours, the Hawaiian Punch gave way to a slightly more traditional strawberry compote and a bit of a mushroom thing. Tart finish. Interesting for sure but I question whether it delivered the pleasure I would expect from a 1er, regardless of the fact that it’s an obscure 1er from M-S-D that is rarely bottled as such. Will this last longer in the cellar? For sure...probably another decade. Will it evolve into something better? I seriously doubt it. At eleven years old, this basically is what it is: a better than ordinary Burgundy but only just.

  Nothing wrong here, just not particularly interesting even after decanting

  Fresh cranberry nose with barnyard backing. More cranberry on the palate, but of a candied or canned sauce variety. Some herbal quality. Firm acidic structure, concluding with a Granny Smith apple finish. One dimensional at this point.
