Nose was ethereal just crazy perfumed fruit captivating. Could just smelled the wine all night. It was well balanced and fully resolved on the palate. Still very primary for the age.

3/3, good cork (20% soaked). Medium/deep garnet core, wide pale mahogany rim. Nose is initially quite mute, opening slowly to reveal red fruit, florals, baking spice. Medium bodied, quite soft and tactile on the mid-palate, with red fruit, spice, touch of vanilla, balanced acidity, just a touch if gaminess on the long. slightly grippy finish. Drinking well.

2/3, good cork. Medium ruby core, pale ruby rim. Nose shows mainly red fruit, vanilla, touch of baking spice. Medium/full bodied, quite mouth-filling and generous, soft tannins, balanced/fresh acidity, red fruited, some savoury notes on the expansive, very good length finish. Certainly accomplished but didn't really excite tonight.

much more volatile than last bottle.
really split the crowd - for some WOTN, for others a bit disjointed.

The cathiard was on another level. Great complexity. Still very young. Enjoyed the Vosne spice. Cool. Superb showing from a great vintage.
