  Lovely now. Sweet red fruit and sous bois. Fresh acidity. Moreish. No rush.

  Has aged very well. Mellow strawberries on the nose. Still a high acid wine in very traditional style but just right with right food (Guinea fowl with salads).

  Very traditional burgundy - light colour, light weight, savoury, but drinking nicely at present - acidity high of course, but not searing.

  1/10/2014 - theRealPepe Likes this wine:

  Dark orange-red color. Nose of earth, barnyard, five star, cinnamon and soy. Palate is less complex with crunchy cranberry, cherry and nutmeg. This is just after opening and will see how it develops and is with food in an hour or two. Edit: After about 90 minutes my wife finally got home. We then ate dinner and had some more of the serpent. Not much change except the disparate flavors on the palate are a touch more integrated. It's a mediocre combination as the lemon in the chicken recipe makes the acid in the wine shrill rather than complimenting it. Still, happy to enjoy a nice wine and nice food on Friday night. Will finish it tomorrow with something more compatible.Edit: Huzzah! Tonight (Jan. 11) had the remaining half of the bottle with Quail in a cider vinegar sauce. Now don't worry, the cider vinegar was cooked and in this case was a great foil to the wine on night 2. As for the serpent wine, the nose now added forest floor and lost a bit of the spice. The palate was a nice rustic mix of earth, cherry, a touch of cranberry, a touch of barnyard and some interesting spicy taste akin to baking spices. I really liked the wine better tonight and it played much, much better with a pan roasted quail and dino kale with garlic and pine nuts.
