Undrinkable, as with other bottles tasted over the last year or so. Heavy barrel toast, cigarette smell. Gross. Couldn't even finish a glass. Not sure what happened to this wine, as I know David would also have tossed this out of his glass and nothing else he made ever tasted this way.

Gave this a lot of air since the last few bottles have been quite weird - maybe 2 hours in the decanter? - then drank over the course of the evening. Very pleasant roast chicken wine with lively red fruit and some good earthy character. Not terribly complex or effusive, which is fine when it's not meant to be center stage. I might have let it go a little too long in the decanter, as it was a little sleepy by the end. At that point, though, I was having a f--k it moment with pretzels and port wine cheese, so not paying much attention.

First taste of a David Clark wine... expensive for a Bourgogne at $39.99 - but it really is a lovely wine. Gorgeous silky texture is the most striking characteristic, with just a framing of oak, but then lovely ripe but fresh red fruit. Not massively long which you would expect (at this level if not price). A very impressive Bourgogne.
