  May Day at Maison Dakota. Tasted blind.
  Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium- intensity, with hints of florality, light perfume, red cherries. Austere. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium tannins, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of sour red cherries, strawberries, light red spice. Medium+ finish.
  Good quality. Feels like a shy Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru. I was guessing 2006 vintage. Somewhat closed and awkward. Will it ever blossom? Apparently it was better 2 nights later.
