Still amazingly young. Slight bricking at the edges, but mostly deep garnet, with a nose of cool red fruits and bits of secondary -- leather, forest floor. However the olfactory impression overall was definitely of a much younger wine. On the palate, fresh and balanced, with well-integrated tannins and great length. Very smooth and linear, with a peacock-tail fiinish that made the wine seem to get bigger in the mouth momentarily once it was swallowed. My first 1980 red Burgundy, and it won't be the last.

Surprisingly fresh and delicate with sous bois, res fruit, forest and earth. Lovely freshness. Very nice.
