Decanted an hour or so. This opened quite slowly, but was very nice once it did. Ruby red color, clear all the way through. The nose shows tons of spice and floral components. Medium bodied, this enters with some tart cherry and dried herbs. Searing acidic structureis evident along with some darker layers across the mid palate. Firm, chalky tannins on the finish. This one is a bit unbalanced leaning to the structure right now, could use more time.

This was a beautiful bottle of Burgundy, and outclassed the Ganoux Pommard. Beautiful nose, fuller and with so many more flavors. Not only bright red fruits with hints of spices, but shrooms and an earthiness. Seductive. Lots going on in the palate as well, all framed on a medium body with bright acidity. Very tasty, and elegant. A sipper, to be sure.

Cherry cola notes with some dirt and subtle barnyard funk. Fully mature. A solid '02 at its peak.

Wow. Great balance and character. I picked up the spice. Starting in the prime drinking area.
