While I thought the nose was a dead give away as Burgundy, blind tasting group was divided as to whether this was a Burg or not. Tons of acidity after all these years; red cherry fruit. Good levels of tannins. A fairly big wine. Long finish. Certainly did not seem to be over the hill by any stretch. Hard to see it go.

Different from the last bottle - this time around much more subdued/muted. Perhaps a small bottle flaw?! Still, a delightful wine with elegance and nice aromas and flavours. But just a bit too little of weverything. Day 2 somewhat more open, although not up to par.

Better than the last bottle. Not subdued or muted. Very lively with quite a lot of tannins left. Very vibrant and fresh.

Kept getting better but the nose never got going. Cool. Dense. A bit rustic. Maybe needs more time?

Lovely herbal aromatics, cranberry jelly and redcurrant coulis. Very charming; elegant, silky palate. Some development. Very pretty and charming.
