Friendsgiving Dinner (Riverwoods, IL): Clearly a ripe vintage Burgundy with good density that implied Grand Cru, but not much complexity emerging yet. Fairly robust tannins in front of the fruit for now. Probably/ possibly upside from here? 89 points?

Decanted for about an hour. At first subtle aromas that around the hour mark started giving way to red fruits and hints of spice. This never really blossomed into a big wine but was wonderfully balanced. I agree with previous tasters, give it an hour of air and its ready to drink.

Approachable and solid but the wow did not appear. Better with air so give it plenty.

Raspberry, blackberry, cherry, sous bois; smooth, silky, gradual, mouth coating, exotic, slowly descending finish; alluring
