This was a real Vin de Garde with dense, black and red fruit- effusive with classic damp wet wood-laden aromatics, inching towards tobacco, brown spice, cinnamon, a bit of nougat and brown sugar to round out a bit of the tertiary influence. Full-bodied with an almost creamy density to the midpalate and with time, showing a chocolate/mocha powder character to the darker-shaded fruit. Impressive and holding on strong (though at this point this is showing great development and Burgundian character). Late release?

A splendid bottle of aged Burg, packed, powerful and perfumed. There’s sandalwood spice and an intense core of ripe cherry fruit. It has some root vegetable and earthy nuance and is deep and long.

Enjoyed with Xavier94 at his birthday tasting, I defer to his excellent note.
