Same bottle as yesterday’s report from Decaturwinedude.
TART. Tar and red cherries. Stiff tannic grip. If there is any of that ripe sun-kissed 2009 fruit here, it’s locked away behind a wall of acid and tannin. Bodes well for the long haul but today? Fuggedaboudit. Try in 2033 or so. 13.5% Alc

A Good Monday, Vol II:: I don't have a great read on this. Too many wines on the table. Great nose. It was lighter-bodied and silky. Seemed mostly ready for drinking after an hour decant.

5 years since I’ve last tasted this and it seems to have faded slightly. It’s still showing trademark Gevrey Chambertin character but the fruit is starting to dry out. There’s some grip here that is starting to overwhelm the wine in a way and I don’t think it will integrate fully before the fruit falls off. My advice is drink up now and over the next 5 years.

Ouvert en fin de soirée, très tard, pour ne pas dire 2h AM haha. Ce qui ma marqué le plus de ce vin c'est sa grande pureté, une finesse très rarement retrouvé dans un vin surtout lorsqu'on considère la concentration et la structure très fin mais présent de ce vin. Ca pinotte, c'est croquant, très savoureux et long, d'une finesse remarquable, c'est tout simplement très grand et mon guess était effectivement Chambertin. Ici on est dans les grandes ligues et ca parrait dans notre verre. Bravo !

Mostly Champagne & Burgs (VVF, Krug, DP, Rousseau, Fourrier,…): This showed very promising but will definitely need more time in the cellar to open up, become rounder and more complex. Today this is still a bit locked but the substance underneath, the precision and the structure are quite great.
TN: Medium+ expressive nose with strawberries and some blue fruit, some stems and smoke. Quite inviting. On the palate this very soft and round, with beautiful red and blue fruit, stems, tobacco hints, crushed rocks. Gets better by the minute with a more open profile, more sweetness but overall this is still not ready and hence not the most complex wine yet. But it is quite promising as there is obviously a lot of substance embedded in a very good structural frame with very round tannins, a medium+ and well-integrated acidity, good weight from start to finish and an already creamy texture without excess.
Decanting: Decanted for roughly 60 minutes, then back in the bottle and consumed a few hours later. This was not enough. I would decant it a bit longer, but better wait a few years.
