Very similar to my bottle from last year. Very robust and juicy for its age with nice beet juice, meaty secondary notes. Probably not getting better at this point but also not going anywhere any time soon.

Very robust for its age. Maroon color, bricking on the edges. Very Gevrey - meaty with juicy red beet and savory notes. A little burly, but delicious with still some time ahead of it.

Domaine End of Year Party (Chicago, IL): Animal dung and funk on the nose -- very powerfully so. The palate is a bit acidic and astringent, and mostly dead.

Cloudy. The party here is in the nose. Very animal like, also old wet leaves that have been smoked on top of a campfire, some mushroomyness in there as well. Tannins have mostly resolved but still has a spine. Still very much alive in the mouth. Went beautifully with dinner. Thought it would fade quickly, but quite the contrary, it took its time revealing itself.

This bottle has lost the battle, heavy acidity, missing the body to compensate.
