  Very light, easy drinking. Had with some Brie.

  Did drink it over the course of a couple of hours. Started with a very reserved nose and did gain some momentum after probably two hours but kind of faded again afterwards. A nice drink with wildboar and mushrooms but definitely not a stunner. Not on GC level but at least bought on a decent pricing level. Not much excitement here. Will drink my last bottle in two years but have some reservations if this will improve.

  Decanted for 30 minutes. Paired with rack of lamb. Ruby colour, slightly fading on the edges. Subtle red/blue fruit background. Nose was not there at beginning but slowly started to show itself as dinner progressed. Dusty/Dry short finish. I was hoping for more but it is what is. $60 for a GC is not bad but it really punches at 1er Cru level. The food helped. I don't see this evolving into a "wow" stage but it was enjoyable none the less. I have some 2017's also in cellar, I have higher hope for those.

  Popped and poured. It took a long time to evolve in the glass but finally it opened to a red berry bouquet. Very elegant and long in the palate with balanced acidity, spice and intense.

  First bottle of a case purchased on release. No decant. Translucent ruby color. On opening this was aromatically tight fisted. By the second glass this was opening up with sous bois, cinnamon, and a mixture of red berries. Starts with uplifting acidity in the first glass though the second glass had less energetic lift. Polished tannin with a light wood note that brings forth cinnamon, raspberry, strawberry, and finishing with a nice punch of minerality. Good overall length with a savory and chewy aftertaste.
  
  I find this a good quality wine, but more along the quality level of a 1er Pommard. Sub $50 cost makes this an attractive QPR particularly in today’s stratospheric Burgundy market.
  
  Half the bottle to be stored overnight, and will revisit tomorrow.
  
  Day 1 - 91-92. Drink with short decant or slow ox in the glass. Drink now through 2028.
  
  Day 2 - The wood is more pronounced today with an evolution of the fruit to cranberry and cherry notes. Acidity remains fresh but less energy than day 1.
