Little bit of TCA that came out the second day. Nice but underwhelming.

Totally shut down, check back in a few years. The good thing that what was apparent were NO traces of heat or over ripeness from the warm 2009 vintage.

Have had a lot of bottle variation with this one. This might the last bottle we have and unfortunately it didn’t sing. For some reason I just can’t love this wine.

After a few hours of air this actually comes together. I was a bit skeptical coming in based on past bottles I’ve had. Bit too much acid that pokes out. Could be more complete and interesting but this is nice overall.

Better with more air - comes together more. Editing up.

Sappy red fruits. Mineral background. Very nice. Fairly light. Double decanted. Tasted after an hour and a half.

Excellent Burgundy, drinking great but has some ability to still age.
