Not decanted, but left in glass for 30 minutes of air before consuming over ~1 1/2 hours. Well enough put together, but wound up and never really giving as much pleasure as we had hoped. Even a couple of hours into this, it was a little simple and hollow, showing mostly cranberry/raspberry fruit and tart acidity with hints of mushroomy earth showing up on the nose more than the palate.

Aromas of brambly red fruit with a little spice and some earth. Medium-bodied and just a touch hollow on the mid palate, but with nice balance and good acidity and a minerally finish. Probably won't improve too much more, but should be able to keep for some time.

Brilliant color. The nose shows tangy aromas of ripe raspberry, minerals, spice, flowers and a hint of earth. This is medium bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and good finesse. The fairly long finish features a mineral element and a touch of rusticity.

Fully mature+ red fruits with earth aplenty with a faint leather, meaty note. Still tasty in an old Burg fashion, but a few years past its peak.
