Deep cherry and very earthy nose. Classic Cruchandeau. You can smell the crunch. As it airs the aromas are stunning and lifting. Palate out of the gates is juicy and very structured with outstanding length. Great acids and freshness. Such purity. Great sleek fruit and concentration. Needs 2-3 hours to come around. But it is all there.

UPDATE - insane on day 2. Fruit comes through sweet, deep, long and fresh.

Cherry galore. Sous bois, wet leaves, floral. Sick nose. Sweet sexy fruit. Very vibrant, ripe, excellent presence on the palate and very refined. Very pure. Slamming.

A accidentally find in my cellar it’s a huge mess! This is what Burghs are all about. This one needs air. Plenty of tannins left should go for another 4 years or so. Crushed Marble, Port wine notes, touch cherry 🍒, hint cinnamon, tree bark, touch bitter, black tea notes. Tomorrow more after 24h’s on the Argon line. Mellowed further out.

8 years since I last tasted the wine. It turned into a beauty. Orange zest. Orange Juice. Hint cherry. Tannins almost somewhat resolved. Still quite dusty. Drink now.

Second wine from this winemaker today. This guy is good! Dark purple red but not too dark. Cherry notes chalk and tealeaves in the palate. Reasonable complexity. Good.
