Splash decant and returned to bottle, 2 hours prior to service. Solid cork, good fill line. Clear, med legs, med ruby/purple color. After 15 minutes in glass, the nose was proper Pinot fruit, huge and more powerful as the night went on. To me, this is classic Burgundy at its best. Although a touch on the young side, the integration. The usual French earthy/loam/slate notes with a combination of blue and red fruit. Tannins resolved, very long finish with a touch of tartness. Definitely not over extracted. Rich, clean, ideal with Beef Bourguignon. Nothing off. Bought at Chateau, $110. 92-93
