With cold cuts of roast pork. Audouzed 2hrs. Purchased in France in 2005, this has been lurking in my cellar for quite some time now. Very Pommard initially, firm structure to the fore, fruit in a distant second place. Over the course of the evening, while the wine was never less than 'tannic', it came much more into balance - the last glass being best & beautiful. A Burgundy for Barolo lovers.

Drank far too young. Needs at least another 1 to 2 years for the tannins to soften and the wine to integrate. Light brick colour; smell of sour cherries, smoke and mushrooms. Taste is tannic with a lot of grip on the teeth and the after taste is rough. High acidity. A shame and I really should have left this in the cellar because it will improve.

Decanted 1hr. Savoury and delicious. Still plenty of fruit and tannic grip.
