Stunningly primary. Cork was perfect, really pretty color and it was unfortunately just opening up as we finished the bottle. I’d say this bottle had at least 5 more years ahead of it if you want to wait

Pop and pour. Quite a delicious Beaune with plenty of silky acid balanced by wet earth. This was singing right out of the bottle and got a bit more tart as the evening wore on.

(Dubreuil-Fontaine Corton Perrières) Limpid medium, medium-plus cherry red. The nose starts tight and unyielding. It slowly releases mocha/espresso high-notes and even over 2 hours remains stable without ever revealing more than a glimpse of fruit. The palate is lithe and athletic but with unforgiving concentration - there is much depth but this is clearly not a wine for today. The tannins are very well covered and the length is also quite espresso without ever becoming overly oaky. Not really all that closed, but an impressive and muscular wine that needs at least 5-10 years in the cellar. I think it will reward that wait

Pop and pour. Needed a couple of hours to blossom but then beautiful and expressive as in previous note.

Decanted one hour. This showed beautifully with balanced acid, firm tannins, sous bois, wet earth. Very enjoyable and right in the zone.

Acquired from auction. It was just okay. Not impressed for the price point.
