Cherry trees and bark, high altitude forest, raspberry coulis, white pepper, herbs, lightly floral. Again, agree with @Geoff Troup, more of a Rhône profile.

Well isn’t this just a delight. A rather attractive, almost ruddy color. Translucent edges and long legs. The bouquet is so nice. More savory than fruity to be sure. Plenty of licorice and wet moss. Leather and lace, with a touch of violet. Those earthy aromas never fade, with fresh cut grass and idyllic spring meadows just for good measure. Dried cherries begin to take over after a bit of time. Still so fresh and alive smelling. A little blueberry compote and faded strawberries.
This is such a well balanced Burgundy at this point. Drinking very, very well at this age with plenty of life left in it. Medium bodied and smooth as all get out. The fruit is rambunctious and still youthful. I doubt this has even hit its prime yet. More delicious red cherries and blue fruits shine in the mouth. There’s an appropriate bit of oak, not too much, and restrained barnyard. I would have liked to see the funk set free but this is a wine that chooses not to dive headlong into that arena. Still, a seriously lovely pour.

Fun drinking if perplexing terroir notes (herbal, floral, spicy). Maybe all secondary without the fruit to marry it all? Cross St. Estephe with burgundy…? I’d drink it again but with…maybe pigeon or squab.
