Yeah... It's just, got this menthol thing going on. Nice body, rich fruits and solid oak, earthy, almost grassy... But the "medicine" undertone is too much.

For a 2014 bottle, I immediately get rich meatiness, wet leaves in Autumn, lots of smoke (like from burning Autumn leaves). On the palette, higher acidity than I might have expected, almost lemon-orange, which is far from what I would anticipate from a red Burgundy. Also astringent like tea. The scent gives a lovely complex sense of terroir, but unfortunately I don’t get it coming through as much on the palette.

Bit tight but opened up to reveal ripe berries, hint of anise, slate and earth.
