I have a head cold, so prolly not the best night to open a grand cru. Decanted for 2 hours in a dbl mag decanter. The is oak on the nose but also some concentrated cherries and strawberries. It tastes smooth and silky with bright fruit and black berries followed by some pith and blackberry seeds.
Quite nice, but acidity is low (ish) and detail a bit lacking. OK now with a decant but will last a decade or longer.

Clear ruby color. Great nose of pie cherry, black cherry, spice, and Pinot funk. On the palate, surprisingly accessible with bright red fruit flavors, spice, and great mouthfeel. Well balanced finish with nice grip. Hold for at least five years but this could be enjoyed sooner. 91-93 pts.

Surprisingly open in the fruit and spice. Fleshy and powerful.
