This started off dumb to start with and took a while to express itself, eventually the red fruit pinot coming through, high acid, lean, some secondary notes - much less charming than his brother's 2005 that we had last week.

this is the last bottle of 05 burgundy i'll be drinking for a while. closed down, really tight. in a few years it will return to former glory, no doubt. but for now, leave it be.

Full colour, stil some purple. Following a bottle opened at a tasting a couple of days ago that was closing up, this was deanted four hours ahead of time. Still showing signs of closing with slightly more acidity than previously, this nonetheless opened up in to a very drinkable wine. Spicy, ripe fruit, decent structure and a positive finish. will now bury remaining bottles for a few years. ***1/2

very tight on opening, needed double decanting and then it was OK

This bottle had developed an unappealing sweaty whiff of oxidation on the nose, which mars the super rich raspberry fruit on the palate
