Edit: This remained tight over next 2 days with recorking and putting in fridge. But the texture smoothed out and the blue fruit perfume opened just enough to feel balanced. It does seem like it could grow into a beauty, but right now I’m enjoying the prospect more then the reality.

Really enjoying the balance here... nose of charcoal and iron shavings, but also dark raspberry and tart cherry fruit. Firm acidity with medium tannins. Cherry and red currant. Just a touch of vanilla and clove. That taste of pulling a leather glove off with you mouth is reminiscent. Appreciable length, finishing with a red apple skin note. I have found that reds from this producer, which are not structured like those from the Cote de Nuits, are a great value play and very approachable young.
