Pop and pour. Still entirely primary, but so enjoyable. No signs of oxidation on Day 3 open (unrefrigerated on the counter). The earth, cocoa, wild strawberry and soft game on the nose are just so enrapturing.

Months into....distancing, and I find myself seeking bottles that "just taste good." No complications, no pretense, and pleasure. When I smelled this, it did the job. On the nose: soft oak, plum, brambles, musk. On the palate, good acidity, more plum and cranberry, good density and soft tannin on the finish. Totally solid and very enjoyable.

This seemed very flat and thin. Neither fruit og power, and I seriously doubt that this will improve with age. Was very disappointed with this considering the rather warm vintage.

Seems better tonight. This rating seems to disagree with my previous notes. Let me just say that ii is hard to go wrong with most 2015 burgundy.

Oak on the nose. Palate thin on fruit for this opulent vintage. Good acidity. Perhaps my expectations were too high. Expected more concentration.
