  Popped and poured. Took a full two hours to really begin to show more than just dusty earthy. But now, it is emerging nicely to reveal really pretty red cherry fruit that is continuing to gain intensity my the minute. The lovely translucent ruby showed few signs of age, so I think this has many years ahead of it, getting even better as it goes. Less open in the mouth, still with mostly earthy fruit, this is still attractive. Once it opens fully in a few years' time, I bet this will show as well in the mouth as it does on the nose. 4-13-15-9: 91/100.

  A Little Bit of France at Spoon (Spoon & Stable, Mpls, MN): Medium red color. Decanted for 90 minutes; drank a glass plus over 90 minutes. Just a lovely bottle of ESJ showing the vintage character. Open and filled with Gevrey spices; baking spice, spiced red currants, wafting red rose aromas, and sous bois on the nose. The palate has that touch of sauvage, tart cherry, spiced red currants, ferrous minerality, medium bodied with round tannins and a whisp of vanilla extract on the finish. 93+ to 94pts.

  As per usual, I’ll defer detailed notes to rocknroller but will say I really enjoyed this. Sweet red fruits, minerals and bits of sous bois. Gave this 90 minutes of decant at home. All 5 of us enjoyed this with Spoon and Stable’s Pheasant Breast w/ Wild Rice Porridge on the occasion of Spoon’s 8th birthday.

  Nice evolution as this opened over a few hours. Well defined through lines of minerality, tart cherries, honeycomb, and flowers. Delicate at first, but fills out with notes of turbinado sugar, smoke, and sagebrush. Palate is also fairly precise and filigreed until it's paired with food. This supercharges with food (braised chicken) showing fuller, meaty texture and intense violet perfume, but also loses some of that elegance.
  
  This had some nice elements, but no fireworks, and the nose is fairly modest. Despite the delicate showing at first it is more than robust enough to stand up to food, and was better for it.
