This wine was presented in double-blind fashion to our Friday tasting group at Vintage Wines, Ltd. The bottle was taken from my personal cellar. My taste was accordingly unblinded. The wine had been stood up for 48 hours prior to opening and immediately gently pouring. It was serially tasted over two hours. The wine has a medium red/garnet robe with garnet rim. The nose is quite intense, with a bouquet of cola, plum, cocoa and coriander. Medium-bodied on the palate, with medium acidity and melted tannins. The flavors mirror the nose and the middle palate is solid. Long, smooth finish. This wine (purchased upon release and cellared properly) has aged beautifully and is drinking very nicely at this point. It was well-received by the tasting group. Drink now-12/13.

Bright disc. Medium ruby with pink rim. Clean, moderately intense nose showing cherry, candied red fruit, dried herbs and black tea. Light/medium bodied on the palate, with similar flavors as nose. The tannins are light-to-medium and fairly supple. Medium-to-long, smooth finish. Very nice Burgundy at a great price.

Wonderful nose - harmonious. Rich and intense but not jammy.
