  Dark and cool berry aromas with forest floor and spices. Extremely fruity and compact, but lacks complexity (and charme). Has definitely potential, though.

  Decanted for an hour, which was not enough, but the wine did open in the glass.
  Complex, dark fruit and forest. Fine tannin perfectly integrated. Good acidity.

  Second wine of the evening with Ken and Jill, they brought some amazing homemade cheeses that were needing a good pairing...last bottle was is 2015, time to check in on this. this one bridged us into dinner. Splash decant, drank over an hour.
  
  Medium ruby/garnet some signs of age. Nose showed red fruit, strawberry, damp earth, evolving later to plum and spice. Sappy and viscous palate - by Burg standards - showing plum, currant, floral/rose notes. Picking up some minerality through the mid/back palate. Full body, medium/long finish.
  
  In a good spot, the mistake was not giving this a couple hours in a decanter. It loosened up considerably in the glass, much more expressive an hour+ in. Sappy texture may not be for all Burgundy drinkers...great fruit, should have a good arc ahead of it

  My second of 4 bottles, and this one was great. This wine is what I expect from
  An aged burgundy- subtle flavors leading me to the
  next glass.. this is a great example of why we drink Burg. After consuming the entire thing I could have opened a second bottle and kept going.. perfect balance, with notes of earth and fruit.. but more of a tease of flavor than a strong presence. I prefer the absence of strong flavors, which not everyone does. This hits the mark. If you are coming off a Cali cab, trying to find the balance with this will be tough. This wine expects that you are aware - it doesn’t feel the need to speak for u.

  Not flawed like the last bottle, but unremarkable.
