  {Bought on release, last note was from Dec 2022; no ullage, sound cork} Huge, feral to start then just sauvage iron-laced black fruits, excellent depth and length. This bottle did not require decanting as did the Dec 2022 bottle (see note from then). Really excellent.

  BYOB at my place Ulysses Colin, 2002 Keller Hubacker, 2013 Roulot Mersault Virules, 1982 & 1996 Cosd’Estournel, 1987 Forman Cab, 2002 Chevillion NSG Vaucrains, 2002 Roumier MSD Bussiere, 1999 Yquem and Bereche Brut Reserve.
  
  1 of 6 opened @3:00 served @8:00 deep ruby core with lightening rim. Initial nose more red than blue fruited than I expect from this Cru, spice and mineral notes emerged after two hours. At serving the palate displayed deep layers of dark cherry fruit, resolving tannins, smooth texture and persistent finish. This wine should improve over the next decade.

  Typical of Vaucrains vs. the Les Saint Georges also drunk today, this wine is more tannic, mineral, and stony. It may eventually get there, but today it doesn't have the full harmony that the LSG had. Cellared since original release.
