  Deep ruby color with excellent spice aromas. First glass 15 min after open. Balanced and lovely with a long finish. Clearly Grand Cru quality but needed to open up in the glass - Zalto Burgundy. Long finish and continued to improve in the glass until it was gone much too soon. Quite the treat with our salmon dish.

  This drank incredibly well straight from bottle. A fine rendition from a great vintage.

  This is a sneaky wine. It's not 'too' anything. Not a blockbuster, not over concentrated not too strong an impression, and yet somehow it is just beguiling. Elegant, with pronounced half-sour cherry flavors and a hint of underbrush but shows the magic of burgundy. You just keep thinking about this wine, both while you are drinking it and a day or two afterward.

  Online Blind Tasting #1 (Online): *** brief notes from online blind tasting ***
  Note is based on a tasting sip in the morning on day one, 5cl on the evening and 0,1l filled in a bottle and sealed with argon gas on the evening of day two.
  Glass: Riedel Vinum Syrah
  This wine was way better on day one. At the tasting it was too chilled and I did not give it enough time to fully open up. At the last sip it showed a glimpse of day one.
  Clear, medium garnet-tawny color. Clean, medium intense, developing nose. Aromas of fine oak, fine red fruit, some herbs, iron and tobacco. Airy and complex. On day two a bit muted/muffled.
  Dry, high, quite racy and well integrated acidity. Medium, fine tannin, not as rough as I expected. 13,5% abv. On the palate fine red fruit, herbs, some subtle toasting notes. Beautiful texture, tension and depth. On day one for sure a very good PC or a mediocre GC. On day two more on a mediocre PC level. On both days the finish was very long and fine. Day one: 93, Day two: 90 = 91

  First bottle of 6, and now I wish I had bought 60. Everything I adore about burgundy. Ethereal on the nose, weightless yet completely full and balanced in the mouth. Firmly in the earth and mushroom spectrum with high-toned sweet and sour red fruits. Still feels structured enough to go 7-8 years for well stored bottles
