  From Coravin. This follows on the heels of my earlier tasting - initially it's a bit stinky and unpleasant but after about 5-10 minutes in the glass it blossoms and shows dark fruits, umami, sous bois and all kinds of loveliness. I saw JamesABDavis note and have to concur with his iodine blood comment, which is spot on. Yum.

  Coravin fun - 2009 Bordeaux & Random Burgundies (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Black hued fruits, savoury spiced earth, a little umami, slight boot polish note that blows off with time, leather. Juicy, fleshy, savoury and earthy, umami, black fruits more subdued on the palate, plenty of grip, balanced, long, lovely - best this has tasted, really glorious

  From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of red tending to blackberry fruit, sous bois, a little woody spice, freshly tilled earth. A little sour tang to the fruit, quite savoury, a touch of leathery tannic tug. Medium plus length. Nice.

  Very cote-de-beauny, iodine blood and minerals on the nose, dark fruit and tannin on the palate. A bit monolithic in the style of the vintage but very good.

  PnP. Nose extremely muted at first. Palette equally closed. High acidity, chalky tannins and not a lot else. The nose remained pretty closed for quite a while, maybe some wild berries and mushroom but I might just be talking myself into it. Three hours and they are definitely there. The palette after a couple of hours has a bit of tart red cherry and dark chocolate, and the structure has nicely balanced out, though the tannins remain chalky, even wooly. The palette after three hours is nicely open, with the fruit much riper, and some undergrowth, though not intense. Actually became quite nice, but I have to mark it down for a bit of a watery palette. Were I to have it again, I might quickly double decant an hour or so ahead of time
