compared to my last one now 7 years ago this has gained body and seems more complete but strangely similar in that I sense blueberry fruit upfront and red fruit on the back end more like raspberry . Later 2 hours of air it started to mimic some cooler west coast Pinots with almost a cola note
I feel this is worth drinking now but certainly has 10 good years to go

opened up in the bottle after an hour, fresh scents of red berries, wet stone and flowers, tender, deep fruit concentration, with beautiful lift and elegance, the palate shows blueberry, mineral and black tea nuances within the core of generous pinot fruit, vey long, very balanced, so gorgeous now, there are a couple of decades left in the bottle but drinking well early

Terroir-istes International - France, Burgundy, Vougeot (Overgaauw Wine Estate): (Tasted Blind): A mid-garnet colour with mahogany to almost deep yellow hue! Evolved bouquet with ripe, dried orange, sweet liquorice, dust, some red berries and meat stock There's an attraction to it, with a mineral note and oddly spearmint, adding intrigue to the nose. The palate is rich with blood orange with integrated lively fresh acid. The mid-palate has flesh and succulence with red fruit compote and sour rhubarb. Somewhat sweet but chalky tannins, a warm alcohol edge and a long finish. The wine got better in the glass.

Quite green and surprisingly saline.

Opened 6 hours upon serving into Zalto Burgundy glass (“No” day): Pale purplish ruby.
Darker red and black berry fruits, prunes too. A bit “sweet” and jammy. Some medicinal herbs.
Fine tannins, nice texture but good acidity. Quite tannic and good weight. Grippy.
92-93 points to me.
