Casual Socially Distanced Burgundy Dinner (My home - Chicago IL): I haven't had this wine in a decade, and it continues to excite me, particularly with a complex aromatic start showing black cherry, black plum, earth, roasted meat and savory spice. Similar flavors are slightly less emphatic, but still so clearly enjoyable. Very long, powerful finish. (Bonnefond bottling.)

This ex-chateau bottle was showing extremely young. Did open up a bit, but I was hoping for a lot more from this. If your bottles are of good provenance, no hurry on these.

Ex domaine library release 2022. Ethereal, floral aromatics. Forest floor, red fruited palate. Nothing fragile, lengthy.

Great nose, 94. Weaker palate, 90. Nose was surprisingly expressive given the vintage.
