Touch of rubber on the nose initially, which blew off. 1st impression is “candied, confected” somehow. Can’t get a bead on this one-I almost question if it is Burgundy, or even Pinot. Its not bad, it just…doesn’t compute. With airtime, there is muted dark fruit, bit of graphite/reduction, low tannin, low acid. Not flawed really, but not anything-in-particular either. There’s no “there” there. Others have enjoyed this one, so chalk it up to an off bottle I guess.

Ripe raspberry, strawberry, hints of lilac and peach; beautiful and slightly unusual nose; velvety, sinuous, fruit is a little faded and more so as the wine develops but soft and pleasing and very long

Pretty darn amazingly special right now. Can't really ask for anything more from red burgundy other than what is in this bottle right now.

Also very pure on the nose. Loads of depth yet so light. Also with a tug of tannins. Just open but wonderful. Just a little tight.

First glass was simply amazing. Second glass was good. Third glass was merely good. Was it just me fading out?
