Based on others’ comments, I tried after decanting for ~45 minutes. This vintage felt a bit past its prime. Not much body to the wine, no flavors stood out. Strong taste of soy sauce at first, though it dissipated after a bit longer in the decanter. I would not let this one age further - drink soon.

PnP. Tasted blind in a line up of some nice burgs, held its own (Lambrays, Mugnier Chambolle, Dujac MsD). Still has some stiff tannins but was more graceful and open than others expected once revealed. It was quite enjoyable though, still have 4ozs left and will try later tonight. If you have multiple bottles, pretty good to try one now, if only 1, try in 2-4 years but not longer IMO.

Mainly red fruit, mouth coating density, quite high acidity, drink it now.

Very nice and excellent with dinner. Much prettier and more drinkable than I am used to from Gouges. Near perfect balance
