Lots of sediment too. Gobs of sweetish mature fruit, raw meat, 'sous bois' wet earth - enticing 'Bourgogne Nose' at its best. Silky Grand Vin on the palate. Plums and ripe cherries, plenty of stuffing, good acidity, some soft tannins - all these give a complex yet totally harmonious feel of a sacred, delicate and rare elixir. Extremely long and reverberating aftertaste.
Every sip lives long after it was swallowed.
Though graceful balance between the prime components means years of pleasure ahead, the wine is 'en point' now. If you're lucky enough to own a bottle now is the time to do it justice.
