Good nose of red berries, spice, and some bark, but the palate is just flat and tannic. Pretty underwhelming if you consider today's price range. Didn't seem to improve with air and definitely on its way down overall. Gives me Charles Noellat vibes.

1996 Burgundy Retrospective - The Fourth Session (Clarity - Vienna, Virginia): Incredibly youthful but straightforward nose displaying fresh black fruit, black cherry, dark spices, a hint of cardboard box and earth. Excellent concentration, very shy black fruit, acidity is sticking out, earthy mineral, still showing coarse tannins and a bit simple medium long finish. It shows more like a village wine. I am not sure how this will evolve.
