Cork pulled 4 hours in advance. Mature color, with ripe red fruit, earth, spice on the nose. On the palate there is nice ripe fruit but the tannin is still quite pronounced, even hours later. I'm not sure even a 3 hour decant would matter at this point. I think this just needs another 2-3 years.

PNP and enjoyed over 3 hours. At first you see the maturity in the glass and the nose is largely one of earth, herbs, some spice. A bit disjointed at first taste, but with 30 minutes of air the fruit comes together with the secondaries, but still not delivering what comes at about 2 hours after opening. At 2+ hours, after a couple of phases, this has come together and delivers a pleasant combo of fruit and secondary elements, with the herbal notes always there. Nice wine with some air and more integrated than my note of some 5 years ago but I would be drinking now and with food. B+/A-

Opened at the LRC in HK, shared by a friend. Slow-oxed for 2 hours before enjoying.
Great nose - Vosne spice coming through, alongside expressive red fruit. However, that was the most enjoyable part of this bottle - the palate didn't correspond, and it didn't have that much lasting power.
Still, very enjoyable and was a pleasure to have this. Drink up if you have any, I don't see too much upside.

Un très beau nez cette fois (2 ans plus tard), tout en élégance, sur la rose séchée, le pot pourri, la violette, la griotte et la fraise écrasée, sans fraîcheur,, épicé, doux, charmeur ! Il offre à ce stade la promesse d’un beau pinot délicat dans la fleur de l’âge, sis dans les environs de Vosne !! En bouche, une texture délicate se voit tout de même agacée par un boisé qui marque encore 15 ans après! Un peu dommage car il altère le soyeux sous-jacent et durcit un rien la finale (des amers fins), mais cela structure sans doute l’ensemble aussi… Ah, sur un petit pressé de chevreuil ou un lièvre à la royale !

Took to a paulee style lunch so not great notes. Lots of people enjoyed the wine.
