This was the cheapest bottle of red Burgundy in my collection, so despite its relative youth, it was culled tonight.
Served with Beef Bourgignon, this was a fantastic match. It was burly enough to stand up to the rich meal while still remaining light on the palate. I don’t think I have a bottle in my cellar at any price that could have been a better fit. Red fruits and a few rough edges, but so good with the meal.

I waited a few years, and it still isn’t yielding much. I have not had any other vintages of this wine, so I’m not sure how this should perform. The Chamirey 2018 Clos du Roi was floral annd expressive at this time last year; this wine is a much different beast.

Deep color. The nose shows aromas of new oak, dark berries, tilled earth and flowers. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and good class. The medium plus length finish features fine grained tannins. A modern style that is still appealing.

I am reminded of the phrase "There are no great wines, only great bottles" This wine is just exceptional.
Color. Dark red. Not saturated, but dark.
Nose. Cherry liqueur, cedar, mint, rhubarb stems, bran. A very interesting and complex nose.
Palate. Smooth and delicious. Cherries, strawberries, well balanced tannins. Smooth acidity.

Very nice but should be decanted for 30 minutes at this point. Still very young.
