This has matured into a delightful 1er cru Vougeot! It’s been about 3 years since I’ve last tasted it and it is drinking extraordinarily well tonight with penetrating darkish red fruit, lots of earthy sous bois and some subtle Asian spice notes. The tannins on the mid length finish have mostly resolved. I’m sad that this is my last bottle.

At ten years, this seems to be in the latter stages of development. Clear medium ruby, still needs a decant for the aromatics to start showing through. Medium body and alcohol. Well balanced, and complex: upfront, dirty earth laden forest floor, herbal tea, ripe cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, all underscored with a nicely integrated tannic and acidic structure. Smooth and elegant mouthfeel. Long, dry intense finish. Enjoyed with a baked chicken pot pie. Should continue to evolve and cellar for another 5-7+ years.

This was quite nice after several hours of double decanting with lots of big, full bodied, dark red fruit, asian spice and firm, chalky tannins on the long finish. Drinking well, but still just a baby.

This is quite nice tonight, much darker than it was the last time I tasted it with earthy, midweight fruit, firmish tannins and a medium finish. Very nice.
