Decanted one hour. Roast lamb and gratin. Earthy notes on nose and again on palate. What I was looking for, really. Too many recent Burgundies have been light and elegant but just lacking a bit of oomph. This delivered nicely - sort of Vougeot-like.

Opened and did not decant. Lots of funk on the opening. Strong dark cherries and earth. Then there is this mouthfilling bitterness and perhaps spritz which then leads into an earthy finish.
After some air the bitterness and spritz faded, the funk below off and the earthiness became more integrated.
