1996 Dumas Clos St. Denis. Dinner at home during Quarantine. Opened and served. Didn’t decant. First pour (while cooking) was straight after opening and very strong fresh strawberry notes. Really evolved in bottle over dinner (next hour or so), getting richer, showing nice tannins (in a feminine way), and became much more complex. By the end of the night (2 hours later), was richer and much more Burgundian. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout the evolution. Next time, if drinking quickly, would event ~30 mins before serving.
