  Love the '01s, still youthful with wonderful cavey antiquey plum meets tar and tree sappy goodness.. Oolong teas, exotic spices, very clean. Nice.

  Unmarked cork. Some hints of bricking at the edges, but there is still a shimmer of ruby. Very earthy and vegetal on the nose, with some black pepper and tart cherry notes as well. On the palate, this has definitely showing some age, with some lovely forest floor and mushroom earthiness. Still showing quite some tart red fruit. A little over-oaked, perhaps, and definitely needs air to stretch out. Medium length finish, with plenty of earthy notes. Mostly resolved tannins. Reminds me more of Morey than Chambolle. Four days out, under partial vacuum in the fridge, this has become very plush and smooth (the famous "velvet glove"), though I can't quite find where the iron fist went.
