Always finish the tasting with something older. This works.

It has hit just beyond its precipice. Older, not quite stewy; blackberries, black cherries, plum, sandalwood, dry twig-leaves, nice acidity-roundness and well balanced finish.

Kind of 1 dimensional but 1-dimensionally yummy.

Showing fortitude despite its vintage. Given the thoughtful winemaking, this may reward some short term cellaring. Elegant none the less.

Forgot how good f magnien is. This is so chambolle in nature. Drinking very well but 5 more years it could be magical. Drinks well beyond its price point (does that exist in burgundy any more)

w/ Soshi & Taniyan @ Kurokawa late into the night. Earthy notes / fruity at first, but both color and tannin-nigami quotient deepened as we progressed toward last third of the bottle.
