August 8, 2023 - Tertiary nose of black tea, smoke, earth and tomato leaf. On opening a quite strong Cointreau orange zest element which slowly faded with air as the black tea and smoke took over.
More fruit on first taste with plum, cherry, with almost a rose/Turkish delight tinge before the black tea, smoke and earth elements take over mid palate and lead onto to a very drying tannin tea finish.
A wine to appreciate more than love. It could be that it’s best days are behind it but there’s still lots to admire. I don’t know enough about mature burgundy to know how this stacks up against the best. For me it’s intriguing with the counter-play of the tertiary elements but it lacks a bit of fruit and balance and the tea tannins at the end are obtrusive. -

February 14, 2021 - 2nd bottle, this time the tannin were silky, very matured and well balanced. Acidity OK but higher would be preferred. Lasted quite a few hours while using 2 different size of Burgundy glassware, both were suitable. Cork was in very dry state and literally fell to pieces on opening attempt, had to use a filter to salvage the bottle.

October 19, 2018 - Wine Spectator newbies; 10/18/2018-10/20/2018 (Marriott Marquis): More of a mix between the spice and potpourri and red fruits. It's a bit smoother and a bit less of an intense finish that the other two had. Almost a touch of coffee towards the end. This softened in the glass. Starting to prob be a bit closer to the drinking window.
