  Medium to full body. This currently has the beautiful profile of an aged burgundy with heavy dark fruit and deep secondary and emerging tertiary fruit. What’s crazy is that about 35% of the way through the mid palate a giant tannic spine kicks in, leaving a heavy drying sensation for minutes. This needs at least 2-3 years of fiether aging for the tannin to mellow and integrate. In the meanwhile, the first 50pct of the experience is great! I really hope the back half catches up.

  {bought on release #5 of 6, perfect fill, cork fully sound and easily pulled; had with JL and in-laws}
  Lovely, lovely savory wine, still a few unresolved tannins rattling about, just excellent LSG. "Iron-minerality" for sure in the flavor set, lots of depth and length. If you have well-stored bottles (or better, mags) this will go for another 5 years at least, but doubt much if any upside. Easy to see why this site has been proposed for Grand Cru elevation given its showing tonight in a so-so vintage.
  
  My view is that this is not a wine for PopNPour and a fast/superficial taste. Open your bottle, savor it with food over hours, reap the harvest of having cellared the wine for all this time as the layers and complexity unfold. Much better than a bottle of the Vaucrains recently opened that was flawed with brett.

  Light ruby. Mostly wet earth followed by black and blue fruit scents. Medium weight, lowish acidity, soil, and subdued fruit. Good but relatively undistinguished for Les St. Georges. It could go on, but I don't see a lot of upside here.

  {#4 of 6 bought on release; sound cork removed with Durand} Rigorous, regal, still tough - not quite teeth-clenching, but needs hours to fully open still. The quality of the fruit and the completeness of the package are Grand Cru quality. Most of bottle consumed when opened and fruit both softer and more approachable after 20 hours. Wonderful but recommend you open the bottle in the morning if you want to enjoy it maximally over dinner right now!

  {#3 of 6 bottles bought on release, perfect fill} Brambly, gnarly NSG fruit with the aromatics and elegance of Les St. Georges. Faded red color with some bricking on edge, very good showing. Held up well over 4 hours. Can hold but I will drink mine up in next several years.
