Final bottle from a 6 pack. My last bottle was 3 yrs ago.
No decant, just enjoyed a few glasses upon opening, and over the following 2 hrs.
This is a nice Red Burgundy, aged to a very good level of maturity, and, quite surprisingly, I believe it to be drinking in an optimal window.
Red and black cherry compote, with espresso grounds, cinnamon, road tar, and some pleasant woody stem flavors.
The acidity is ample to support these flavors and lend some bite and tension, and the resolving tannins, although 15 yrs of bottle age, still show grippiness and give nice structure.
This is everything a humble, $30 Irancy PN can offer...and in spades, really. Kudos to Lyle (importer) for the find. Drink through 2026+.
