Getting a little tired, but still a pleasant dinner companion.

What a nice bottle this was! Elegant nose of cherry, dried roses, limestone and sous bois. Like lifting an old log off the forest floor, revealing little mushrooms doing their humus-creation thing. Palate shows the graceful power of the vintage. Bright acidity, dense mid-palate, and tannins grip firmly on the finish.

Good wine, a bit tannic but nice sweetness and depth. En magnum.

A good producer. Shock full of cherry even at 10 years of age. Very fresh - tastes like it was bottled yesterday. Good but lacks the complexity edge I am looking for in Burgs. Fun now. Tannins should keep this going for another 3 Years.
