tasted blind and glad I had the opportunity to revisit this- great showing and now more definitely secondary in character with black cherries aged in brandy-type scents, a dense nose of dark, soupy/damp type of baking spice, iron and game with a bit of dill in the high register. Almost chewy tannins today, though this appears to be aging quite nicely along with the fruit. Powerful wine, looking for those classic Burgundian stews to accompany today! 93.

This wine seems to be finally coming together and developing secondary qualities. Beetroot and shoe polish on the nose with the red fruit seemingly less rich than prior bottles, tamed by ample acidity. Still showing much promise as it ages at a glacial pace.

Brought the remaining half bottle to show (blind) to Xavier94. Open for 24 hours, this was singing. I defer to his note. 92+
