Well, I am properly impressed. A lovely balance of strawberry fruit, balancing acidity and generously ripe tannins. This is in a great place but can still evolve if you like more of the forest floor type flavours.

Hmmm, this bottle has a distictly brownish tint. On the palate it is thin and the fruit has faded. To borrow a word used by antique dealers to describe a piece that has been artificially aged, it is "distressed". As someone who likes antique Burgundy I am still enjoying it, but given the premature aging I can only mark this as a flawed bottle.

Vin fini, aurait du être ouvert il y a quelques années. Dommage.
