  Good bottle opened ten minutes ago. Seems still pretty young. Hasn’t opened up yet, but classic Burgundy is peeking through. This wine seems like it would last longer than the cork holding it in the bottle. Cork was deteriorating more than the wine. Will taste this wine the whole week. If it lasts that long. Got at auction and must of been kept in a proper cellar with outstanding patronage and fantastic attention to detail. Label and exterior was museum quality or like it rolled off the bottling line yesterday. So well kept I was debating whether to open. Well open I did.
  
  *2nd night. No nose or perfume. But there is a subtle maraschino cherry, marzipan on the palette.
  *4th night. Still very little aroma but little spice box and leather. Palette same as before almost no change. Wine has changed or developed little from two nights ago.
  *6th night some change lead pencil shavings has come forward.

  Now here's a wine that really needs food. A well-stored bottle, quite fresh, opening with red cherry fruit that gets darker and more cassis-ish with air. There's a ton of structure remaining and the tannins are a bit rough and dry out the midpalate. But take a bite of some duck first and then have a sip, and suddenly the tannin smooths out into velvet and there's really tasty, concentrated dark fruit all the way through. Not really mature at age 23, this isn't showing much in the way of the forest or mushroomy notes you'd expect from an aged burg; in fact, this tastes quite adolescent. Given the structure and concentration, bottles stored like this one need a few mores years to approach full maturity and should last a very long time.
