Slight sharp acidic note that vanished with air. Drank over two days, without decanting it, but let it breathe in the open bottle for 45 minutes. At the high point great acid and tanic structure. Classical Burgundy notes of perfumed red fruit, light earthiness and almonds. Little too short on the finish. Still very enjoyable. Served with duck breast, red cabbage and truffled mashed potatoes.

shared with pat at selkirk manor to celebrate the end of the work week. varying longevity estimates from different sources. decided to err on the side of caution. may have opened prematurely. after an initial burst of fruity aroma, the wine shut down and was shy on the nose. it needed significant aeration to open up. should have decanted earlier. in contrast, the mouthfeel is full and rich. some wood. lots of acid holding things together. tannins smooth. the wine probably has further to go. should have held longer to have gotten full value considering the price.

La robe est fraise translucide, léger signe d'évolution en pourtour. Le nez est sur les fruits rouges, la canneberge, les épices, l'orange sanguine, le bois noble. La bouche est fraiche et tendu, un peu strict mais belle matière, pas mince. Petits tanins légèrement granulés, belle allonge sur une saine amertume. Très bon.

took a while to open up, but when it did it was smooth with good fruit flavours.
