Ordered from a restaurant's wine list, this was uncorked, poured and serially tasted over a 2-3 hour window. Medium-to-deep ruby in color, it fully opens after the first hour to reveal an aromatic profile of Bing cherries, red currants, orange zest, pickling spice, iron and violets. Medium-bodied, crisply acidic, proportionately oaked and without noticeable alcohol (listed as 13.5%), it delivers flavors in line with the aromas, wrapping them with plentiful edgy tannins. Dense in the middle and medium-length on the back end, this is a solid red Burgundy that will likely merit a higher score once its tannins have fully integrated. Drink 2026-2038.

Elegantly perfumed nose, red fruits, licorice, a little lemon pledge, silky, soft, good lift in the finish. Appealing, lacking some structure, but fairly good now. This didn't wow me but will be a solid drinker in the shorter term I think. Give it 2-5+ years.Monopole

La Fête du Champagne Grand Tasting (Pier Sixty - New York NY): Walkaround tasting with the producers. All red cherry, attractive on nose, more backward on palate. Good length. Very 2018, this will need cellar time.

Musique & Vin Pre-Concert Dégustation (Château du Clos de Vougeot): Walk around tasting. Rich black fruit, lots here, but firm and barely giving from middle forward. Patience, 89-90 point potential.

PnP in restaurant and ready in glass after 30 min. Loads of fruit and full body. Simple wine and strong enough to accompany with Spanish cuisine
