  Medium ruby color. Violet floral nose. Black plum and cherry fruit on the palate, with some sappiness. Medium intensity, but still fairly primary. THis is nice, but not what I had hoped it would evolve into. Continue to hold in hopes of more evolution.

  Solid enjoyable black cherries, earthy not complex, well balanced, easy but with grip. Didn’t evolve much over two hours

  Dégustation Mars 2023 au resto AVV La Suite de Sherbrooke avec les FOUDUVIN de l'Estrie (Restaurant AVV La Suite de Sherbrooke): Bu au resto AVV La Suite de Sherby!
  Beaucoup plus foncé que le Pommard,
  plus sérieux et masculin aussi, possiblement un brin fermé.
  Fort délicieux.
  A revoir!

  Against good judgement, I opened this too early. Tightly wound and very primary. Nevertheless, the purity of fruit and balance suggests this will evolve into a beauty in 5-10 years.

  Wow this was tight; I don't normally drink Gouges young, but I thought maybe the velvet 2015 fruit concentration would make this approachable; I was wrong; the nose was tight and grudgingly revealed ripe red fruits and earthy humus, a hint of violet; the palate was wound up as tight as a drum; I can feel the potential, but the tannins are keeping the fruit under wraps; that said there is plenty of acidity as well; I left 1/2 the bottle to re-visit tomorrow.
  
  Definitely improved on night 2; the nose shows classic NSG earthy and underbrush, the fruit is a bit riper and there are some spice and herb notes; the palate is also much more open, but there is still substantial structure; the acidity remains juicy and quite fresh for the vintage. I'd say if you must drink this now, give it as long a decant as you can; otherwise I think 5-7 more years in the cellar will be good and it will likely drink well for another 2 decades.
