  Had this wine in the decanter for more than an hour. Noticeably the started to come out, made it a less nice experience than previous bottles. Also, I had this wine in my kitchen for the whole day. So it might have been too warm for consumption.
  
  So next time, get it out of the cellar just before dinner and dont let it breathe to log.
  
  Or it just was bottle variation.
  
  I am careful - had quite some longevity issues with previous Chaupin and VV bottles. Guess I need to drink them in the "Up to 7-8 years"-range.

  Too closed up right now. Intriguingly light upon opening, but just not giving off much. Much different story the second night and more enjoyable, but this needs time. Give it lots of air or a few more years.

  Luckily my last bottle which was flawed was an exception. This one shined after one hour. Unfortunately I brought it in my living room to early so it was 1-2 degrees C too warm. Still a fantastic wine! Although I am not really neutral here as Janasse wines are on my menu list for quite a while now. Merry christmas!
  
  Very good year. However I think the 2020's will live much longer than the 2019s.

  Bottle was defective although the cork was fine. Hope this is an absolute exception as I have invested in quite some bottles. :-/
