Wow, much better than my last bottle. This is complex and utterly gulpable. The nose is an intoxicating blend of soft cola, coconut/oak toast, Gevrey earthy funk, wild strawberry coulis, and spicy perfume. On the palate: spot-on acidity, great density, wild-strawberry, cola, and a softly tannic finish with good length. My last bottle was good, but this was everything grand cru red Burgundy should be. A show-stopper tonight.

Soft on the palate, but good acidity, soft game, dried wild strawberry, attenuated tannin. Today, slightly oxidized. This was everything GC burg is supposed to be.
