  Took this to the chinese place downstairs where it played very nicely with various duck based dishes. still showing enough ripe dark fruit to make it interesting and with sufficient structure to not get beaten up by the protein. Not really what I'd call showing much age - a smidge of tertiary leather - or typicity - it's quite ripe - but perfect in this environment.

  Should have opened this instead of tapping it with the Coravin...earlier note (from 2021) applies but it does show a little more fruit on the palate. Meat. Needs meat.

  For those who follow Burgundies that most believe are over the hill, there is nothing better then opening a bottle of older Burgundy when the drink dates suggest it should have been drunk about three years ago, and finding the fruit beautifully linear from start to finish, with a depth and complexity that is often lacking in younger wine. Vincent Girardin makes excellent wine. We tasted this Gevrey side by side with a 2014 Lucien Le Moine Bourgogne Rouge with a wonderful dinner of Cornish game hen. Beautiful. Both Burgiundies were quite good, but the Gevrey was far superior and at the end of the evening the fruit was fading in the Le Moine while the Gevrey was just as alive as it had been at the begining of the meal. This is very good wine worthy of looking for, but you might go for a younger vintage if you have the patience to wait awhile.

  From Coravin. A little wood glue, gamey, charcuterie notes, a touch of earth, slight raisined blackcurrant, woody spices which grow with time. On the palate it proves to be very spicy, woody and earthy with that charcuterie underpin. The fruit has pretty much left the building though, touches of bacon fat show on the finish. Drink up for me.

  Burgundy "Masterclass" - Day 2 (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia): [From Coravin] Initial hit of carbonic/whole-berry character (boiled candy) blows off leaving notes of oak (cedar, vanilla, cloves), fruit development (dried blackberry), stem/whole-bunch character (ash), and floral characters (dried roses). The palate appears to present a more red fruit core (cooked strawberry). The medium(+) tannins are very enjoyable and have a reasonable balance with the acidity. The finish has a medium(+) length showing additional notes of bottle-age (leather, gamey quality) and mineral (dry dusty earth). Nice.
