  Opened up after decanting and an hour or two. A fine Burgundy. Cherries, minerals - I could definitely taste the soil. Silky finish.

  Day later from memory. I tend to drink my Burgundy on the young side, for two reasons. One, I often can't keep my hands off them, and two, I have no desire to leave them to my estate! So it's not often I find myself uncorking something fully mature like this. There is nothing primary left, and the fruit is attenuated and buried deep in the earthy, loamy, mushroomy bloody iron bones of Gevrey. The wine now is savory, full-bodied and a tad heavy. It gave me the opportunity to reflect on vintage variation and the wonders of bottle age. My wife, on the other hand, was distinctly unimpressed and after one sniff had that look of "what just died in your glass?"

  Overly tannic, harsh. After an hour decant, a bit more approachable

  Good wine, black fruit but a silkiness I associate with Volnay, some tannins. A pleasure to drink, but perhaps too young.
