Still has freshness and vibrancy. The acidity is still there, although it seems to dominate at times. That said, the mushroom and earthy notes of typical aged Burgundy are there with some subtle red berries in the background. There has been some bottle variation with the lot I purchased but on balance, these have been remarkably solid and consistent.

This is our best bottle yet of this wine. Slight bricking around the edges, but nice garnet core. Initial damp earth and loam on the nose, but there is a good amount of fruit as well. Cranberry, raspberry and earth with sharp acidity. Menthol and pine forest on the finish. Well aged village wine.

Mature, brown/garnet rim. Red fruits and some complexity on the nose. Red fruits, cherry, strawberry on the palate. Some liquorice and spice. Good acidity and length.

Bottle variation at work here. This was nice, soft and round. Aged Burgundy qualities. Previous bottle was a little off. This was a pleasure.
