Dried red fruit, decay, autumn leave, forest floor and underbrush. Classic old burgundy palate that resembles the nose with fresh acidity. It is soft and expressive. Drinking well at peak.

Bricking. High toned aromas of rose petal, a whiff of red wine vinegar, hawthorn, dried red fruits, hint of caramel. There is still some freshness on the nose. Tannin still prominent, a touch grippy, but not excessive. Medium plus length. Well-balanced. At peak.

I was looking for ward to this one - a bottle with some decent age, supposedly a fully mature burgundy. Of course, sods law, smelt oxidised with a dull nose. There was some leather and animal tastes on the palate but it was shot.

World Wine Symposium 2013 - Kevin and Kelly's excellent adventure; 11/6/2013-11/14/2013 (Villa D’este, Lake Como): Showing a bit of damp cellar which I get from most of the 83s. Fully matured, sweet red fruits, raspberry, sous bois and earth. Lovely wine. The producer thought the wine was a bit off but I thought just the vintage characteristic.
