Nose: minty, earthy, very fragrant, mineral and gamey underneath. Palate: still feel a bit of fresh cherry fruit, quite juicy. A bit watery in the mid-palate, but hold on with good mineral sap and subtle acidity. A solid tannin grip in the end, which was quite surprising for such age. Very well aged Burgundy with still life ahead!

Decanted 2 hours. This was tight on opening. Color was quite young, with just the slightest signs of age. Clarity was great. At the two hour mark this showed smooth, cool fruit and a nice, tight finish.

This will probably improve even a bit more with time. A-

Sweet dried fruit, both rich and mineral. No lack of tannin but enough fruit to achieve balance. Fully mature.
