This is still a lovely wine at 23 years old. The style is lighter, but the fruit is still very pure. Cranberries, persimmon and light earth. The wine continued to improve for a couple of hours and developed a little bit of strawberry on the nose.

Really nice maturing pinot tonight. There is nothing fancy here, just the pure cherry fruit, but well made and perfect with a special pork roast where I did not want any of the underbrush/ leather aromas that other burgs develop. No hurry to consume.

On opening was rather high pitched and acidic, not giving much other than a lovely whiff of red pinot fruit. Double decanted, but wine really did not come around til about 4 hours later, typically in my last sip, when I got a long pure sweet pinot flavour. Wait 2 years for a pretty decent classic cote de beaune drink.
