  PNP into Riedel Burgundy glass (“Leaf” day): Pale ruby to the eyes.
  
  Ethereal, blackberries, dates, cherry cola and earthy and mossy notes. Complex spices with distinctive cinnamon, nutty spices and highly savory notes. Baking spices in the best way possible. With time in glass, this is more strawberries.
  
  Superbly generous and well integrated on the palate and a wholesome wine.
  
  Wow wine and a notch up with a more refined style of what to me is an amazing holding from the great wines from Prince Florent de Merode. 95-96 points for me.
  
  With 1.5 hour in, 1/5 left: Simply superb wine here. Superbly smoky, floral, amazingly kaleidoscope aroma and flavour profile here. Just Wow at this point. More like 96 points at this point.
  
  2 hours in, last pours: somehow managed to get more and more light-footed and ethereal, mushroom and sous bois, dried leafy notes. Mind-boggling level of evolution here.

  2015, Corton Grand Cru, Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, Burgund, Frankreich. Kräftiges Rubin. Intensive Nase nach reifen Himbeeren, Kirschen und Granatapfel, dazu Kaffeenoten. Im Gaumen opulent, feine Gerbstofftextur, saftige Frucht, von einer guten Säure gestützt, ungemein harmonisch, gute Persistenz, endet rotfruchtig, feminin. Das warme Jahr ist zu erkennen, ein Wein mit Rubensfigur und dennoch Eleganz. Jetzt (dekantieren) bis 2035, 18.5 vvPunkte (92/100). vvWine.ch

  2015 Romanée Conti Vintage Horizontal: Most DRC 2015 reds were quite approachable, marked by intense, pure sweet red fruit and a treat to drink. The clear highlight was the unbelievable soft texture, the elegance with the natural hierarchy maintained: no other wine came even close to the play in the same league as the Romanée Conti, while the Corton and to some degree the RSV were good but without exceptionalism. Wine of the night was the Richebourg (97), which was the most complete and complex wine. Close second the Romanée Conti (96) which showed not as much aromatic greatness but was the silkiest and most elegant thing I‘ve probably ever had in my glass. The La Tâche and the RSV were both a bit muted and closed. Experienced wine lovers sitting next to me were very excited about the quality of the lineup („best young vintage since 99“, „so approachable, such a treat to drink“, „Echézeaux and Grands-Echézeaux were never remotely as good in the 20 years I do this tasting“).
  
  TN: Sweet red fruits, especially pure strawberries along with hints of sous bois. Fine-grained, velvety tannins. Overall a good wine, with a good structural frame but of course not as deep, not as elegant, not exciting as the others in the line-up. Overall a solid effort, without that exceptionalism experienced with the others.
  
  Decanting: Sat for 90 min in the glass, followed over three hours. Seemed quite approachable, didn‘t gain or lost much.
