One of those wines that make you smile. Bewitching bouquet of ripe cherries, red flowers and raspberries that exuded such elegance and regal. On the palate, bits of orange peel, violets and ripe juicy cherries. As it fleshed out in glass, so did layers of ripe red fruit and tinge of porcini bundled with depth and power. Very complete at this time and drinking incredibly well.

10/12, excellent cork. Served at c14C. Pale/medium garnet/mahogany core, wide pale rim. Nose is gently aromatic, florals, red fruits, soil, mineral, touch of game. Medium bodied, mellow red fruits, touch of game, soft tannins, fresh/vibrant acidity, gamey and also sweet and pure on the finish. Drinking well.
(Don't serve too cool).

Self-isolation wine highlights (Wellington, NZ): At its best after two hours air. Garnet colour, rusty at the rim. A developed, aromatic bouquet of dried and fresh red cherries, spices, earth, dried brushwood, strawberries and dried herbs. In the mouth, mature, spicy, earthy and red fruited. A well-cellared bottle, perfectly à point. Fully secondary, about to tip tertiary in the next 2-3+ years, I'd expect. Very ripe raspberry and strawberry with a little shave of dark chocolate. A savoury, dried fruit character with a little soy and rust and some orange citrus. On the second evening more cigar and a touch of tar. Tannins well resolved and melded with the acids and the remaining fruit. Drink soon.

Bourgogne 2002 horisontal Grand and 1. cru winetasting dinner (20 btls) (Nordsjaelland): Garnet color. Dominated by a smell which I cannot describe but it is not good... Also notes of strawberry. Not corked. Medium+ acidity, medium tannins and medium+ finish.
