Double decanted an hour before dinner. Lush fruit and spice on the nose. Palate is nicely weighted with full red fruit. Drinking nicely, but seems like a bit of an underachiever for the vintage and cuvée. Hopefully will gain more depth with additional cellar time.

Paulee wedding lunch at Nicolas. Friendly pour from the next table. Was a pop and pour at the lunch, so perhaps lacked the benefit of air like the previous bottle I drank before. A tad less showy.

Dark, brooding cherry on nose and in mouth. Savory, earthy notes. Great depth , length and finish. Young wine that will likely develop complexity over time.

Popped, and had it breathed in bottle for at least an hour before serving. A rustic, animal-type nose emerged from the glass, amidst scents of dark-red cherries & sandalwood/cedar. Blinded, it didn't seem apparent that this hailed from Burgundy. Onto the palate, this showed rather magnificently qualitatively, definitely one of power in a velvet glove, that transcends intensity in a rather weightless manner. Light, agile, satiny yet packed full of coiled intensity. More dark-red cherries & meat flavours abound, held together in almost aristocratic structure. This actually tightened up with more air and got a bit more "stern/over-serious", that was almost comparable when tasted beside a '04 LMHB 😂. In any case, will be interesting to see how this will turn out with more years of cellar-age...
