No one would think this is a young wine. Perfectly delicate 'Bourgogne Nose' enveloping beautiful discernable fruit, some earthy and 'gamey' elements, and pronounced mature sweetish undertones. A real fragrance delicacy. A very delicate, almost fragile and totally mature wine. The only way to fully enjoy this complex and multi-flavored nectar, was to leave it until after we finished the powerful lamb stew.
Mature fruit is there, together with good acidity and some wood for frame.
Very long soft 'ethery' aftertaste that carried the fruit well into tens of seconds. Surely lost some of its power and intensity but gained a wholesome and beautiful harmony. No tannins to speak of. Good structure but weakish flesh. Still a superb wine, but a bit less extraordinary than the previous bottle I tasted some three months ago.
