Good, some interest, but somewhat a rough style. Can age more, still very vigorous. Open three nights. Like the diversity of Burgundian wine styles, such as this bottle.

A really great bottle. It's really standout quality is its finish which is both pretty and quite lengthy. On opening it was quite tart but that smoothed out with air. Did not decant, and drank about 2 hours after opening. Both red and blue fruit flavors, some hints of tea, a little bit of stony mineral flavors, with just the slightest touch of smoke. The long finish is dominated by the fruit and is quite juicy.

Will be brief and agree with the prior reviews: berry and bramble, wonderfully balanced and medium to full bodied. Drinking nicely 15 minutes out of the bottle and plenty of life left. Slight tart acidity perhaps. Lovely taste and my much less snobby than I wife likes it.

Lovely. Drinking perfectly in 2020. Black raspberry; perfectly balanced, effortless.
