January 20, 2018 - 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. -

December 13, 2011 - Julie et al BDAY Birch st. -- Amazingly youthful, plum deep purple, lotsa deep dark fruit. Not necessarily multi-faceted but nice.

November 24, 2011 - Thanksgiving dinner, still showing amazingly youthful.. Not a huge depth or wide range of flavors, but a good juicy earthy core.

June 25, 2011 - Awesome Burg for 18 years old, showing almost no signs of age, good dark color and muted deep fruit, earth and spice.

3/1/2004 (link)(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.

3/1/2003 (link)(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 !!
