  One glass is poured and it shows dark fruit and rubber boot reduction. Leave it on the counter with a cork in the top and it still shows rubber boot....otherwise a balanced and powerful glass of wine. This must be decanted.

  Dark red. Just a little roasted coffee along with black currant fruit nose. The palate has very good concentration of sweetish black fruit, grippy and fresh. Terrific with dinner tonite, but rather aggressive on it's own. Needs time.

  Medium+ red/maroon. Swirl vigorously to get rid of the coffee smell and reveal smoky black fruit. In the mouth there is an animal character, underbrush and great density to the dark fruit. A sweet fruit ending to this impressively constituted and concentrated wine. Will be even better in 10 years. "Aux Boudots" abuts Vosne Romanée.
  Next day we dig into the last half of the bottle and it still smells of coffee (another taster says "cabbage"), the palate is more open and perfumed.
  If I ordered this at a restaurant and it was burdened with this reductive nose after decanting, would I be justified in sending back the bottle? Forty eight hours after opening, the last glass has lost the reductive odor.
