  5/8/2020 - NYC_Maenad Likes this wine:

  Firm gripping tannins, fruit on the nose is more pronounced than palate. Focused acid, a bit of a dip in the middle. Aromas as plush, very pretty red cherry candy, not totally born out on the palate. After 20 minutes: fruit in free fall a bit, but flavors are great. Mouth feel through the mid with air is very nice. Everything pleasant, nothing off. Nose spread and became much more earthy sous bois mushroomy. Nose stayed nice, palate goes all acid and tannin. Waited a few years too long, I think. Had our last glass just after eating some first attempt mozzarella and most of the faults faded against a little salt and fat. It’s 15 year Bourgogne, what do you expect? For fruit to be just diminishing now means you did everything right.

  Nose: earthy, blueberry, floral Taste: shockingly tart cherry juice, fascinatingly different from the nose

  Medium ruby. Intense violet pastille, powdered stone, blackberry and oak spice on the nose. Full, rich palate with mineral and dark fruit flavors predominating. Has bright acids and rather rustic tannins and the finish is a touch astringent and woody but their is real material here and time may help this considerably. Pretty serious bourgogne here and worth the price of admission. Try again in three years....
