    Purchased at Domaine in Beaune. Medium bodied, tannins basically resolved but no rush to drink. Best guess is this will be humming along in 10 years no problem. Good rustic taste, great fruit but no high cherry notes. Tertiary flavors starting to develop. Still more fruit then mushroom. Good balance and finish. Overall- fantastic. I drank this before dinner but would pair very well with a red meat seared and salted. No sauce.

    Definitely showing tertiary notes, with a bit of funk that blew off after a bit. Notes of cedar, dried red cherries and a bit of vanilla notes. Medium brickish red color on this light to medium bodied wine. The wine showed good balance.

    Opened not decanted. Brought by TPB to Somerset in Oakland, Paired with steak. Showing some age at the rim of the glass. On the palate: smoke, cedar, wood, forest, fruit that is fading with some dry cherry and spice. Good.

    Slow oxygenated for a couple hours. Still had some funk at pouring time.
    A couple of folks really liked. I found pleasant but unremarkable. Some earth and meat over round red fruit.

    (Bouchard Père et Fils Le Corton) Deeply coloured at the core. Wide and savoury aromatics that give the impression that you are about to meet a tannic beast. Actually the tannin only comes through quite late as you get to the finish - before that it’s silky-smooth. Eventually red berries start to appear on the nose. Black-edged fruit is the main palate component. Long but faintly so. Certainly more youthful than you would expect at 20 years, I would say that it needs about 5 more years in a standard cellar to start to enter its maturity phase.
