By the bottle at Pluckemin Inn in NJ.
I'm a sucker for old Burgundy, we jumped on this opportunity. Lucky us, it was the last bottle.
Initial splash was all tertiary, felt like wet dirt and forest floor.
Thankfully, air helped, and even ten minutes of air in the glass woke this up.
Got a lot of dried fruit in this. Dried strawberry, plums, dark cherry.
Also got loads of cedar and some spice. Also dried thyme.
Then some leather and forest floor.
On the nose, some dried lavender.
Solid acidity that still helps this feel fresh.
Fully mature wine in a great place, absolute treat.
92 points.
