Decanter for sediment. Surprisingly open for a 95 and for a Faiveley. Ample black fruit and black tea. Tannins are actually balanced with the fruit and the palate is pretty smooth. Just entering its drinking window if I had to guess. Perfect with roast chicken and mushroom. A pleasant surprise.

Super Bowl 2017 (Alpharetta, GA): See through crimson with orange rim; floral, dollop of oak, plump, sour cherry, orange; good grip, firm acid, a bit somber, firm structure, strong cherry mint; initially was in Burgundy but had so many qualities of a Burgundian Barolo, some thought it was too mean to be Burg though it still had an airiness to it; Faiveley of this time period makes sense, why didn't I think of that- playing the man.

Dark purple with no sign of age. Primary nose of raspberry, cranberry, and oaky spice. This is incredibly young, still primary and ripe, with unintegrated oak. Dark berries in the mouth. Dusty tannins. This Chambertin-Clos de Bèze is an oddball but there is enough fruit and structure that it could come together yet. Give it five more years?

Popped and poured. Very good. Agree with others that this seems very young. Drank over ~3 hours and it only got better. But, this is well integrated at this point and very enjoyable. Would appear this has a long life ahead still. 93-95 at this point.
