Wonderful. Didn't give up much aeromatically at first - closed down. On the first sips, girlfriend noticed a pretty strong diesel taste (and I said that every tasting note in the world that begins with that ends with "which blew off pretty quickly" and yes in the real world that's just what happened for us, too). This is a terrific 1er cru Gevrey Chambertin, young but definitely approachable with an hour of air. It's still unfolding and opening up, and the last sip, 3 hours into it, was the best - great length. I'm not an expert in burgs, but I think I note that Gevrey kind of burliness as opposed to it being delicate. A real treat with salmon.

Flowery nose, hint of leather or smoke(?). Tannins were just starting to lose their edge. Still a bit young. Better on the second day. Very enjoyable wine.

Remarkable how young this wine is tasting right now. Smooth with flowery nose. Nice low ABV at 13. Really enjoyable.

Violets, stony, slightly under ripe cherry on the nose. Mid palate shows similar notes. Great mouthfeel, lingering finish. Silky, oily textural finish

Nose doesn't show much to me but the mid palate is awesome. Very primer cru. Lots of depth here, much to think about, much to enjoy.
