Fruit is nicely ripe and a touch tart. Black raspberries, raspberries, dark cherries, dry cranberries, baking spices, good earthiness, crushed rocks and soft chalk. Nice balance, acidity and elegant finish.

3 hrs slow ox. On the nose: black cherry, toast, earth, soft funk...lovely aromatics. On the palate: lovely acidity, a touch of heat, black cherry, spice, vanilla, toast, chalky tannin on the juicy finish. Lovely already, but we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Day 2: drying a bit. Either drink up or wait another 10+ years.

Medium minus ruby. Raspberry, squid ink, pepper. I really don't like red Burgundies made in a New World style. Medium plus acidity, medium minus sugar, medium alcohol.
