Our first on 2015 red Burgundy, so why go half measures! Feet first, here we come. Hitting the decanter I get a sour cherry nose with smokey grape seed, very intriguing. Mouth is light on the barrel notes, nice black cherry and earth/mineral flavors. Paired quite well with cider-braised, then smoked duck breast with new (dug one day ago) potatoes. Not sure which, but either the Burgundy or the duck brought a tear to my eye, both were absolutely amazing.
