(Leroy (Maison) Bourgogne Rouge) Despite the abuse - as I pressed down my Screwpull, there was a plop, then a splash and then there was no cork, the mouldy-topped thing disappeared into the bottle - this showed quite well. The colour is medium-plus ruby red with a rim of amber. The nose is like a subdued raspberry pie, though with a less nice dusty, flour-type note behind. The palate is soft - though still furry tannin can be found - if you search. Ample fruit for the appelation, and good acidity. Not quite as exciting as last years bottle but well balanced and drinking well.

(Leroy (Maison) Bourgogne Rouge) Some signs of seepage on the top of the cork. Colour is a mature ruby tending to brick. Nose, initially subdued, but sweet with very faint redcurrant, orange & tea, became more intense with time. Palate surprisingly thick and full for the appellation with stewed plum fruits and medium but persistent acidity. The tannin is still there – just, with a long but slightly astringent finish – the astringency disappeared with food. I’ve had 1er Cru’s which were inferior in every way. Found this at half price for €8.5 a bottle. I’m going back for the other 4. Drat, there was only 3 !!

Starts out thin acidic and apparently DOA.
Put this back in the fridge uncorked, ran some errands and came back 5 hours later.
I know scientifically 5 hours of oxygenation does nothing but this was a totally different wine. There is now sweetness and a lot more weight. Evolves into a pleasant surprise and still very drinkable. Not much complexity but some secondary characteristics make quite good alone and even better with food.

Julie et al BDAY Birch st. -- Amazingly youthful, plum deep purple, lotsa deep dark fruit. Not necessarily multi-faceted but nice.

Thanksgiving dinner, still showing amazingly youthful.. Not a huge depth or wide range of flavors, but a good juicy earthy core.

Awesome Burg for 18 years old, showing almost no signs of age, good dark color and muted deep fruit, earth and spice.
