My final btl of a half case, and the best btl. On the nose: hoisin, game, black cherry, a hint of char, spice and perfume. On the palate: excellent acidity, black cherry and wild strawberry..very hi-toned, supple and weightless on the palate. On the finish: attenuated tannin, some cocoa and strawberry, and a touch of white pepper. Drank alongside a '14 Charlopin Marsannay Echezots, and I think this was unquestionably the better wine.

Slow ox'd for 2 hours and decanted for one hour. Bright red fruits with medium acidity. So good now, but can't wait to check in again in a few years.
