This was very nice tonight after several hours of air with lots of deep, brooding, fairly rustic dark blue and red fruit, Vosne spice notes and abundant earthy sous bois undertones. Quite nice and still a baby.

Translucent at the edges. Rather closed on opening. Quite delicate and elegant, with suggestions of Asian spices. It developed some complexity on the second and third nights, but overall remained a bit thin. By comparison, a S les B from the same vintage and producer recently was more generous, complex, and far more interesting.

Abit closed on opening, but after an hour or two, it was drinking beautifully with lots of quite dark, penetrating, earthy fruit. Probably still a little young.

Maison Champy Dinner (Sepia - Chicago IL): Powerful red and black cherry aromas with background Asian spice. Powerful, dense and concentrated on the palate with subtle spice and long, exciting textural elements. Much better than I recall from 6 months ago.
