Ehhh…. At first - it was interesting - cherry, mushroom, forest. But, something was lacking. I thought maybe with food it will improve, it didn’t. So - long story short - it was not what I hoped for in a Grand Cru.

Lots and lots of dense cherry. Not complex now and maybe it won't ever develop into something miraculous - but this frankly seems too tight at the moment to prognosticate meaningfully. I'd give this at least another 5-10 years.

My 6th bottle, and I now have to admit that this is as good as it gets. Have tried everything...even opened a day in advance. This is a tart, astringent wine with a nose of sour cherries and a taste of sour cherries. Worst wine at this price I have ever purchased. Maybe the worst at any price. Ouch! Now I remember why I don't spend money on red burgundy.

Heritage 2016 Blind Wine Tasting Challenge - BYO Dinner (Jean Georges Steakhouse - ARIA - Las Vegas NV): Small glass, brief note. Light styled wine, very un-1996-like with little of interest, even if nothing "wrong."

Well made but nothing special. Drinking well.
