Cork in great condition. Lovely on opening, showing more maturity from the off than I remember over the last couple of years but still fresh and structured and lots of life left. Lovely cherry and floral nose. Great on its own. Going to try with coq au vin and Epoisses, which it has always performed well against before... Worked very well with coq au vin. Beautiful. I noticed the oak and again some maturity more than before. Very nice. Great with Epoisses too although it put it a little in the shade. Glad I have 5 more bottles of this!

Great on opening. No reduction here, unlike some previous bottles. Definitely ready now whereas previously needed a bit of air. Lovely fruit and fragrant but with a touch of rustiness that I often find in Gevrey and especially this producer.

As has been the case with this wine in the past, it is much better after an hour of air, becoming much fruitier, tangier and even keeping its fragrance. Very good.
