This was much more youthful and vibrant than expected. Clearly well stored, perfect fill and cork. Minimal bricking with dark crimson color. Energetic nose with some cedar and earthy spice notes. Dark cherry on the palate, still with rather youthful fruit profile. Lengthy finish of cherry, underbrush and cinnamon. Wow. Stunning wine, was not expecting anything this vibrant and youthful. Quite elegant and seamless at this stage but will continue to evolve.

Focus on Burgundy (Mostly) - Blind Tasting (My home - Chicago IL): Blind tasting. Similar to some bottles from a few years back with a bit more evolution and forest floor. This mushroomy character gives some added charm, mostly making up for the loss of some fruit. Fruit still comes through nicely on the long finish. I will try to finish the bottles I own in the next couple of years.

Deep purple red. Big bright puplre fruit with licorice which opened up nicely with air. Big rich round ripe spicy blcak fruit. Clean spicy finish. 2/06

Starts very subtlety showing light red fruit with good spice and a nice earthiness. Flavors then follow suit nicely. Long balanced finish shows good spice.

A step down from last bottle, but still well preserved with bright forward fruit. Solid
