It's been a week...found this laying around to soothe my pain...Squinting with some Julien Lage...trying to chill out.
Pop and pour. Notes from 1 hr open. This is stunning and far and away my best btl. That being said, it shows its age. On the nose: lovely spicy earthy notes, dried raspberry, and lavender...wow, that earthy, musky perfume is heavenly. On the palate: excellent acidity, good density, leather, wild strawberry, soft thyme and lavender...finely grained tannin on the finish. If this btl is representative, this will probably hold a while, but based on my previous bottles, it is at peak now.

Cranberrry, orange peel, Ceylon tea, dried cherry. Hint of raisin fruit quality but still plenty of acidity and life. Fairly big for a burgundy. Long, somewhat tannic finish with a hint of mushroom/forest floor, with at least 5+ years left in its life, but its drinking pretty close to its peak now nearing the top
