  Well, I rarely ever decant Burgundy. This time at a restaurant the somm decided to decant into a decanter which had a top closure allowing her to invert and put the wine back in the bottle. Prior to decanting we tasted and nose and palate were aggressive with structure and balance displaying potential but high tannins. After decant and return to bottle...WOW...what a difference. Supple, softer with residual tannins but extremely silky and smooth with great fruits and balance. Wouldn't have believed it had the somm not recommended it.

  Give it another 10+ years.
  Unmistakably Gevrey.
  Drunk over 2 nights.
  Night 1 very reticent. Cola, sloe and a hint of black cardamom.
  Night 2 still very reticent. Smokey, coffee, vanilla, chocolate, pomegranate. Plush, rich and powerful.

  Very good, but perhaps not great. Expected more earthiness, this nearly tastes like an American Pinot.

  Closed bouquet typical of french wines, with hints of green pepper, cherries, light smoke. My initial taste was uninspiring. A bit of sour, but smooth and balanced. Finish was.....nebulous. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to inspire singular sipping. However, it paired quite nicely with the dinner bruschetta. I've struggled to find a wine pairing for this salty dish, but I think I have found it. Recommended (the bruschetta and the wine).

  IPNC Lunches and Dinners; 7/26/2013-7/27/2013 (McMinnville OR): Tasting. Mostly black fruit aromas and flavors, both meaty and dense with some sauvage hints, good concentration and firm tannic structure that will benefit from a few more years to soften.
