Decanted for 90 minutes. Light ruby color with a bouquet of tart cherry, and a hint of earthiness. The wine is medium body with very nice fruit, good acidity and a medium finish.

PnP and then consumed with the bottle open for a few hours: Color is medium garnet. Nose has aggressive floral character out of the bottle with clean red fruit; more secondary character comes out with a little air, including some lightly toasted caramel, also it gets more of an earthy/mushroom thing going on.
Good weight, decent energy. Black cherry, tart red plum, toffee, finish that is slightly leathery. Medium+ length finish. Modestly sticky tannins. This bottle is drinking nice and got better with air; continuing to improve, getting more fragrant and lighter in body, and it was certainly better at hour 4 than on the PnP. First glass was 89-90; last glass was 93-94.

Bigger more closed bottle than previous bottles opened. All around great effort for the price

Just overall great balance. Not a huge wine but not small or delicate in any way, but bright, good fruit and decent structure.

Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Lots of black cherry aromas, then both black cherry and blackberry flavors. Touch of oak still stands out. Big fruit dominates over moderate spice. Firm. Good length.
