This was one from G's cellar which he bought a case of, and which we tried for the first time the other night. We decanted it for 2 hours. It looked very appetising and was a translucent plummy colour. On the nose, we got plums and cherries. The palate was singing! Scintillating stuff. It was quite light for a cote de nuits wine - elegant and pretty, with well-integrated tannins and a kick of ripe raspberries. On the finish, it had a slight tartness, but not in a bad way. We felt it was drinking now but there was no rush and it might even get better. It's already a clear 9.
