Stood up for several weeks. Decanted off fine sediment for 1h and back into bottle. Initially, fairly thin and lean. Now 3.5h after decant. Aromas of just ripe red and black cherries, herbs, bark. Palate w w nice red and black cherries, some plums, herbs, bark and a bit of earth. Nice acids, medium body, and med+ tannins. Lots of structure but also fruit forward w some elegance. Good now but will open last bottle in 3-5 yes to see there is any more evolution. 90+

Decent charming Santenay. Needs a bit of air but otherwise ready to go

Nose: anise, daffodils and rose petals, plum and cherry. A little spice on the back.
Taste: berry fruits, mocha, chili powder, clove. Smooth start, big spicy middle, but doesn’t linger.
Served with duck and orange sauce.
