With an aviation cocktail after... Still terrific colour., not quite young but somehow bright. Cherrry, Vosne spice box, loam, toasted berries and leather on the nose. Bright cherry acidity, raspberry (still), a tiny hint of grip, and a long finish. This has aged magically, and it is screaming red fruit spice and soil. (My phone autocorrected soil to soul. Maybe that was prescient.) One of the best old wines I've had in a long time. Im actuallly not sure I favour Les Ste. Georges over Boudots as the shadow Grand Cru. From magnum FYI

Damn Good Burgs and a Toast to Hanky J (Keyaki Grill at Capital Tkyu Hotel): Good depth of color in the maturing red range. Earthy but clean nose with dark berry and cherry fruit, some damp leaves and hardwood sap. On the palate, sweet ripe bulky cherry-berry fruit and a pleasing meatiness that is reminiscent of shiitake mushrooms. Lingering sweet finish that packs a little hidden muscle along with nice ripe grape savour. May be ready, but needs significant airtime to open up. Was just starting to show a little more earthy depth when we had to head home.

Damn Good Burgs and a Toast to Hanky J (Keyaki Grill at Capital Tkyu Hotel): Very young looking deep reddish purple. Olive and Christmas plum and pepper lead off on the nose, which settles down into a little earth and some cherry. Foursquare and solid on the palate with rich cherry, some more earth, and good solid fruit sweetness – still very young. Good body and intensity, solid depth throughout the palate, just enough acid brightness to keep it fresh. Tannin is noticeable but tame. A very pure and pleasing representation of Corton.
