Initially tons of red fruit and floral. Later, black fruit emerges with minerality in the form of wet stones, and some spice. Very fragrant, especially floral notes. Med body, spice, med+ acidity, med+ finish, med tannins. Great energy.
Kept 1/3 bottle in 55 degF cooler. On day 2, after allowing it to fully come to room temperature, it wasn’t as floral and it was slightly astringent on the finish. Very pleasant mouthfeel with tannins gently coating the mouth. Very nice first experience with Dujac.

This was good and drinking well with food; nose shows very typical MSD dark fruits and sauvage; a tang of iron and some violet with a bit more air. Didn't really get any whole cluster notes, but maybe just a whiff of pepper. Palate with solid depth and good balance, definitely feels like a leaner year with a lighter weight and plenty of acidity. Overall good, though more along the lines of a high quality village wine and not quite what you would hope for from a 1er cru with a producer of this reknown.

Double decanted one hour (no sediment) to give it air. Pretty nose. Deep and interesting palate that worked great with food. On its own excellent, not fully open, a bit tight. Excellent right now, great underlying fruit, has potential upside.

Honestly kinda disappointed. By no means a bad wine just was expecting a bit more from it. Let open for a couple hours but never really evolved into anything special.

Vin qui ne semble pas encore prêt. On percoit encore le bois et la vendange entière.
