Stored vertically in the fridge for several weeks under coravin. No ill effects noted. Garnet with a hint of purple. Quiet nose - need to sniff deep (in the Zhalto bordeaux) to get some earthy notes an a hint of something herbaceous. On the palate - good line, hints of cherry and almond on the finish - this isn't flabby, but nor is it thin or mean...just doing it's thing, and very nicely it is too. 2012 Burg is doing the business right now.
Another bottle that's survived weeks (months?) upright in the fridge under Coravin. Purple colour just starting to subside. Earthy, herbal notes, some dark fruits on the nose. On the palate - just a hint of funk, not awkward but you wouldn't have minded if it had cleaned its shoes before walking on your carpet. Lovely structure, tannins and acids working well together, this isn't too young but it's just starting to be an adult. Herbaceous quality to the finish.
