Starting to open up, but likely better a few more years down the road. 2005s never seem to age! Nose was heavy of red fruit and game-y notes, palate was broad and powerful with ripe red fruits. We opened the bottle and let it sit for about an hour which helped it open up some.

Likely the most savory of aromas I've experienced from Burgundy, this is our first experience with 2005. Nose has savory cherry, hints of rich/concentrated tomato sauce, maybe some light game meat and saturated oak.
Palate has ripe cherry, light oak, the savory notes continue and seems like fresh red pepper/basil blend, oak on the medium finish.
This has changed since the decant, initially it had a fun bacon/cherry nose, so I expect it to continue to evolve. We'll be pairing this with duck confit over a green lentil salad.
Food pairing update: Perfect! Savory notes mellowed, cherry fruits picked up. Food pairing with this bottle is 9.3+.

Dark red fruit. Noticeable wood. Lush fruit, with glycerin. Dense and thick. Young but good material- but I think will never have great finesse
