PNP. Cork perfect and wet 1/3rd way up. Color bricking. Nose strawberry sous bois and rhubarb cola. Swishing shows all secondary flavors and muted acid and tannin. Sipping gives more weight and med length finish but all secondary. Agree w others that this has past it's apogee but if you like mature burg this is right on. Nice effort in a dreadful vintage.

Similar to my prior TN: sweet cherry/strawberry, sappy, spicy oak (less intrusive now), and again, almost a hint of effervescence. Less fruit than a year ago-- more forest floor than I recall. Drinking great now, but drink up.

popped and poured. color still dark ruby with no signs of age. nose showing mostly primary fruit and earthy nuances. on the palate, the body is medium with good mouthfeel and weight, acid and tannin present but in balance. med long finish. this is in a nice place right now, but if you like your burgundies with more secondary character i think that this has lots of time ahead. really enjoyed this

Beautiful wine; sweet cherry/strawberry, cola/beet root, sappy, spicy oak, and almost hint of effervesence. So elegant. Best at 1 hour after decanting, then faded.
