  7/2/2017 - viniferous Likes this wine:

  Deep ruby color with a brick edge. Medium body. Nose is quiet, elegant; cherries, primary aromas, opens up to a touch of Worcestershire. Forward palate is pleasantly fruity, substantial body, silky tannins that are really at the heart of the palate but go unnoticed unless you are analyzing; very little acidity, no notable astringency; the finish is a masterful balance with all elements in perfect harmony, the oak is there as a touch of cocoa, perhaps, but you have to think about it, there are none of the usual jarring notes of torrefaction, rancio or vanilla. I suspect another taster who found a cooked flavor may have fallen victim to poor storage as there was none of that in this bottle.
  
  Won't stop any shows, but a wine in perfect balance in all elements. Was fantastic with roast chicken over quinoa.

  Ripe, sweet black cherry and raspberry fruits mark the nose here along with delicate warm floral perfume which brings relief to somewhat cooked and roasted flavors. Very pretty but oppulent at the same time. Notable rich, round texture that becomes more velvety with time in the glass and while the acidity is certianly lower, it doesn't come across as flabby. Good lively ripe fruit continues on the palate and shows very nice persistance. Still relatively primary but just beginning to show some other tertiary aromas/flavors. Very pretty wine.

  More graceful tannin in comparison to the Gevrey Petite Chapelle, nicely balanced. This too is inflected with chocolatey oak though.

  Surprisingly forward and CA-like nose and flavors (primary, fruit-driven). Very enjoyable and drinking well now.
