Vintage 2013. Young, fruity and very well drinkable

Some say not to decant red Burgundy, but I have always thought that they do better with air. This one really needed it- at first it was all sulphur on the nose. By the time the pork tonkatsu was on the table, the Ballorin was singing and smelled and tasted of the real thing... The texture was incredible and the wine had a full body that made me think of fancy premier cru Gevrey rather than straightforward Marsannay. Yum!

I started out on Burgundy, but soon hit the harder stuff.

Much less reduction than other vintages. Good fruit and acidity.

Tart, tight and unyielding. Maybe just way to young
