From Coravin, at 55F. Mature, but with a lot of bright energy. Spice, leather, dirt, anise, tart cherries, smoke on the nose. Excellent balance, nice acidity giving it lift. Still a lot of fruit present. Medium and "dirty" finish. Some bitterness on the backend. No sign of fading; seems to be at its peak. Not flawless, but very enjoyable. Sad that I only have one bottle.

Notes of plum, anise and oak. Great with a cigar!

One of the top wines of the old burgundy blind tastings. Well balanced, ready to drink
