Best villages: There was some debate if this was corked - initially I thought it was but it didn't get significantly worse over time and there was still fruit present. I would put it down as old-school barnyard funk but a more experienced palate was quite sure that it was tainted. Nonetheless it was still very pleasant, had an elegant, florant nature despite the rusticity that made me think it was a Chambolle, the silkiness of the wine didn't make me think NSG at all on this.

I was looking for a Burgundy with good body, a touch of funk and a little age. This works. There's good underlying acid to suggest it'll go for a while longer, but the palate has light smoke, acid and good, nicely oxidized fruit. There is also that nice funk on the nose.
