Opened 4 hours earlier. Even ruby. Mild reduction, herbs, violets, and blackberry. Elegant medium weight, lovely feel. Spice, inner mouth florality, terrific acidity, blackberry fruit and soil. Unfortunately, the reductive note never let up despite vigorous aeration and strikes the one impure note in an other really pretty wine. I don't get the sense that more time will help.

Reductive when first opened, as 2010 Claveliers can be; brilliant with air, as 2010 Claveliers can be. Silken textured, red fruited, tons of Asian spice, very very Vosne, a whiff of residual reduction, long finish, totally elegant and feminine. Great bottle, my last burg of 2020 and one of the best.

An Afternoon Tasting Burgundy (Chevalier Fine Wines - Elmhurst IL): Popped-decanted-and-poured. This was massively (undrinkably) reductive, and an hour in a decanter did not help. A day later it was drinkable, but still a flawed bottle.

Tremendous reduction here. I will leave them for a while. Hoping for better showing.
