Open ~1 hour before serving. I'm not certain if this was slightly corked or otherwise damaged, but despite good fruit concentration, there was a slightly bitter and/or medicinal quality to this wine tonight.

Big powerful wine. Opened in the morning, re-corked and back in fridge. 30 minute decant at 6pm and back in the bottle. Poured at 8pm and drunk over 2 hours. Dark and sour cherry nose with vanilla, baking spice, nutmeg notes. Tannins integrated somewhat over time but not quite there yet. Snarly and surly on the finish. Very old school. Plan to save my last bottle for 2018 or so...

For me, pure distilled burgundy essence. Eau de parfum de Bourgogne. Perfect bottle. Suggest drinking now, I doubt this will improve

A very powerful wine, still closed and almost painful to drink. I assume that this is still sorting itself out and will be quite a treat in 5+ years
