Opened with Acker in HK. Double-decanted and then breathed for several hours before serving.
This was probably WOTN for me, even though this is really young. Lots of concentration and structure, perhaps even a bit reductive - but there is something going on here which I didn't feel with the other ones in the flight. I expect that this will be fabulous when revisited in 10+ years time - and yes, it really will need that much time at least in my opinion.

Terlato Cru Tasting (Ever - Chicago IL): Tasting from magnum, brief note. This had been opened and decanted the night before. Completely engaging aromatic start with bright red cherry and berry, with spring flowers plus sweet and savory spice. Drinking so well now with complete harmony, probably with further upside.

Domaine Visit & Tasting at CdlT (Vougeot): Similar to the VV if a bit more charged with spice. Similar intensity and concentration. And also quite seamless and elegant in this vintage. 94-95+
