I think this has come out of its shell and is drinking very well again. Lots of quite rich, predominantly blue & black fruit balanced by just the right amount of acidity. A touch of spice and emerging earthy, sous-bois notes add corners of interest. I think it will improve further for a good few years and last for many more after that -drink dates to 2026 seem conservative, but very enjoyable now 92 +.

It took some time opening up but than you get rewarded with subtle but evident tones from cocoa, cedar and tobacco notes behind a lovely play of a bunch of little red fruit, Iconic

Much Bourgogne typicity, charming bouquet with strawberry, raspberry, and floral notes. Medium bodied, elegant palate, with fresh but mature red berries, subtle cedar, cocoa, plum and vanilla notes, with a fresh menthol finish. Still early to judge, but I expect this bottle to further improve over the coming 5 years.

Petits bonbons acidulés, poivre, cannelle et fumée. Chaleureux et assez complexe. 94 $ (https://vinquebec.com/node/15625)
