PopnPour, tasted over 3 hrs -moderate bricking -sour cherry Burg funk mature elements -higher acidity, med weight, fully mature forest floor flavors with a hint of residual tart cherry, med- tannins -in the middle of its maturity plateau, will last several more years but not likely to improve into a 3rd decade

Took some time for this to really show its stuff, but once it did this was great. This had mushroom broth, dark spices, sweet cranberry and smokey minerals on the palate and was in great balance. I think this would do well with a nice decant or some extra bottle age...backend acidity and structure was pretty strong and the palate still had nice energy.

Don't decant. a bit past its prime, but really good anyway. classic gevrey with leather, tobacco and a touch of barnyard funk. great deal for $40, but drink now.
