At first this was a perfectly nice if unremarkable wine from the cote de nuits that had aged well (slightly less fruity, darker, a little more robust). However by the third pour, the wine yielded something quite magical: subtle cherry with a burst of violet candy and a well handled, more pronounced toasty finish. Keep this open a while, indeed decant ahead of time.

Muted nose. Cherry, mushroom, cola and barnyard funk. Characteristically muscular on the palate with notes of cherry raspberry and spice on the finish. What is missing is the shear weight that comes from most Gevery. Not bad, but as another taster noted, easily forgettable.

Decanted for 1.5 hours. Not much on the nose. Some hints of strawberry but not much else. Not horrible but easily fogetable. Maybe expectations were too high.
