Note: I use the recommended scale, so 85 is a very good wine.
Very enjoyable bottle. It took a little while, maybe 60 min, to come around, but once it did, completely smooth and well-integrated. I am not certain that decanting is necessary, but if you do, I recommend a narrow bottom carafe, no need to provide a lot of air.

FWS Bourgogne Class: This was just so pretty. I have very little experience with Blagny, but this was delicious. Still tart acidity, with aromas of rose and maraschino cherry. Light body, with elevated acidity. Tannin was also on the lighter side. Compared the NSG tonight this was the opposite side of the Bourgogne spectrum, just light and bright fruit. I would drink these in the next few years, it was delicious tonight

Garnet in color with bricking edge. Nose of stewed strawberries, hints of cola and leather. Tastes of sour cherries, tar, and earthiness. Decent fruit and pronounced acidity. May positively evolve with a couple years.

Good, typical Bourgogne. Nice fruity aromas, a bit of earth, wood etc. Great value for that price.
