My wife accidentally popped this while she was being overwhelmed kid requests. Oh well, best to enjoy it. Notes similar to last time. Hopefully will be better with a couple of days open.

Decanted. Super primary. Poured back in bottle, notes from 24 hrs open unrefrigerated. Still super primary on Day 2. On the nose: rustic red fruit, game, iron, cocoa powder, with emphasis on rustic fruit. On the palate: lovely acidity and density; elegantly styled red fruit and game on the palate, with soft spice, tangy red fruit and grainy tannin on the finish. Excellent, but will be much better in another 10 years.

Decanted, notes from 2 hrs open. Nose shows leafy red fruit, mulberry, wild strawberry, and a cool cinnamon vanilla wafts through on the end. On the palate, lovely acidity, sour plum, wild strawberry, spice...the finish builds slowly with perfectly proportioned tannins. This is still a baby, and I'm not sure how much it speaks to Corton, but it is yummy, and has the potential to improve a lot with age.

Clean, youthful. Perhaps it is a question of age but I would not have picked this as Grand Cru - then again it wasn't Grand Cru price either.
Hard to get too excited about this.
