  Decanted 4 hrs, and yes cue up the JB or the Sly, cause this was Funk City when I poured it in the decanter. Within 20 minutes it was gone and what followed 4 hrs later was very memorable. Please take this with a grain of salt, as my Burg experience pales compared to many, but this to me came across as a dead ringer for Vosne. Specifically, it had the Christmas Tree spice that I have often found on what few VR’s I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy, that gave it this majestic, regal quality and that’s exactly how this gem came across to my wine brain last night. I really believe this would cause havoc in a blind tasting with its French cousins. If this vintage is typical for a strong Clos Electric Rouge, then my lack of purchasing these is borderline criminal. That ends now.

  Fairly dark red and purple color. The nose is complex and layered with spice, mushroom, pine needles, and fresh red fruits. This smells like this holidays. the palate is red cherry and tart blackberry, this balanced acidity and a soft texture in the finish. This wine is fantastic.

  medium bodied straightforward strawberry notes on day one; far better on day three when it is bigger, darker, more complex, with Christmas spice, earth (like you find in old Ridge MB cabs); a hint of cedar on the long finish; need to hold these longer, but that is hard to do.

  Notes from 24 hrs open. This is stunning PN. One might imagine Charlopin Clos de Beze, but this is unabashedly new world. Wow.
