Medium brownish-red with notable clearing around the rim. Small amount of sediment at the bottom. All that wrapped in a beautiful and clean 'Bourgogne Nose'. Among the very best nose I have experienced in a long time. Concentrated with excellent winyness.
Tannins are tough and very noticeable.
A bit disappointing after the wonderful nose. Well, the mystery was solved when we had the second half of the bottle 24 hours later. What were hard ungainly tannins became soft and smooth. A most delicious nectar. Medium body, very good concentration with excellent structure.
