Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. For what it’s worth, this was showing its best after some air and I’d probably recommend at least a 30min decant if opening at this stage. The 2018 Cuchet-Béliando pours a deep ruby/purple color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of mostly ripe and some tart black and red fruits: blackberries, raspberries, purple flowers, black pepper, grilled meat, dried green herbs, rocky earth and gentle spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose though the black pepper is even more prominent here. The finish is long and tremendously satisfying. Another absolute beauty from Cuchet-Béliando. Drink now with patience and through 2048. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 3 months ago

All about texture. Viscous and luscious, very shy in the nose but pristine in the harmony between tight yet ripe herbal character, minerality and nutty bitterness. Long finish. Needs time to develop intensity — 8 months ago

Lovely smell and full mouthfeel. A real kick from the tannins to end it off (a tad too much without food). — a year ago

Cherry cola, earthy funk, slightly cloudy, touch of brett. Tastes old skool. Great bottle, not the taste profile I have grown to prefer, but this a great snapshot of classic red burgundy. . — 3 months ago

Very pretty. Manure, controlled. Cherry, roses, violets, black currant, and sexy musk. Ripping acids. Transparent burgundy character. Just entering its drinking window — 7 months ago
