A bit old but not too long. There was just an odd flavor in the mid-palate. Some funk blew off after about 30-45 minutes, but the odd almost metallic taste never disappeared.

Great expression for a village
Old vines
We found a brilliant color
The spectrum of the aromas goes from little red berries to cardamom, coriander a plenty more
A very complex nose leads to a pleasant and enjoyable palate which finishes long in the aftertaste, a bit exotic and very elegant
Very happy with this bottle
First bottle of the Burgundy Course

More mature than expected, but more pleasure, depth, than lighter extraction chez Fourrier, for example.

Spice up front and on the nose. Dark sour cherry on the palate with Assam tea and acid. However, lacking complexity and depth.

Tan ins still persists but after 30 minutes, soften to integrate with fruit and acid nicely.
