This was the first bottle of burgundy I bought just under five years ago. Didn’t know much about the producer, vintage, region or vineyard, I just knew it was time to start adding a few to check on in later years. Glad I did!
Alongside this was a 2002 Piper Rare, 2008 SQN The Duel Grenache and a 1989 Beychevelle, paired with Braised Texas Iberico Ossobuco…and shockingly, all worked with the dish.
While we decanted the other reds, we pulled the cork and let this sit in the bottle for 30mins or so before pouring. Dark crimson in the glass with some translucence. Aromatics of cedar, herb crusted black cherries, raspberries and dark floral notes…not shy. The first half of the bottle showed a very pretty/elegant profile with nervy acidity, and then this absolutely transformed to a more complex and filled-out wine…black peppercorn, clay/earth with some iron at the finish that persisted for a good while.
Drinking really well now, and likely reaching peak enjoyment for those who enjoy their burgs with a balanced fruit and secondary profile.

Red flowers floral on the nose with cinnamon. Palate is red floral, dark cherries, strawberries, pomegranate, fresh cranberries, light earth and minerality. Beautiful wine but worthy of cellaring. Your patience will be rewarded!

Very stylish. Red raspberry and earth with a wonderful velvet texture and a dry, complex finish. A bit funky on the nose upon opening, but brilliant given some time to open up.
