Shared this one with my father at dinner tonight celebrating my mom’s birthday (she doesn’t drink – tragic), then brought it back to their home to have with the cake.
I’m always in disbelief when I try Burgs like this – we let it rest after opening for 35-40 mins, but it didn’t need it, basically pop & pour.
Tannnis are completely resolved – super smooth first pour. Big flavors of griotte/cherry, red fruits, and surprising sweetness, followed by some vegetal rhubarb and strawberry, some soft acidity, then hints of allspice/nutmeg/coriander, finally some soft oak and sous-bois.
Tried again after being open about 3 hours and it’s still going, hardly anything had oxidized or faded yet. Even more cherry flavor but the acidity toning down a little more to reveal more of that crazy rhubarb flavor.
Astonishingly good bottle – just wish CdN in general was easier to come by, not to mention Grand Crus.
