Surprised by this one. It started out a bit thin and showing oak and not a lot of fruit. But good Burgundy has the ability to add weight in the glass and that's what this one did. After an hour and half of coaxing it developed into a lovely mid-weight Gevrey, smooth finish with none of the wood splinters I had feared at the outset. Still has life ahead of it but no reason to hold off drinking it.

Sharon's Birthday (Kapcsandy, Rhys, Huet, Pape Clement, +++) (GHT): Really in a nice place. This is, of course, why to cellar wine. Pale ruby in color. The nose is deep, no funk, but cherries, macerated cherries and some damp forest floor notes. Medium bodied. Complex and layered on the palate. Probably at peak for my tastes as I still like some fruit left. Layers of earth, forest floor, and juicy cherries. Nice balance. Nice finish. Great with food. Bought on release.

Lovely perfumed aroma with hints of fully ripe berries and earth. Very good balance with rich bacon fat mid-palate that lingers on and on. Some nice focus and minerality comes through to assist with the long lingering finish. Very Very+ Good.
