I think this is the most elusive wine of the night. Its color is obviously younger than its sibling from Musigny, ruby core a bit watery on the rim, no sign of brick hue. It starts with dried cherries and very earthy note that reminds you the damp horse barn, very much closed on the palate at first refusing to show any sign of liveness. After about 4 hours of courting(I mean aeration) it starts to smell like a tall jar of red fruit jam and sweet floral notes. Palate is quite consistent with nose, medium+ tannin and acidity.
