Drinking so beautifully for a 45 year old Beaune 1er. This really underscores the fact that balance - not extract or heft - is what's required for aging well. Gloriously tertiary now; red fruits, singed/earthy gout de terroir, mineral, peony, leather. Pure silk on the palate; all the edges have gone. I didn't decant this, but it did take about 20 minutes after the first glass was poured for this to really pull itself together and give its best. 94-95
