Comments: wow.  Just travelling beautifully.  Nice and crisp look.  Earthy, spare nose early doors but opens up after a glass.  Forest floor.  Mushrooms - but am I just thinking of what was on the menu?  No, it is in fact a good match.  Pine nuts.  Very Burgundian, or at least what I think of as Burgundian.  Nice stink.  Keep coming back to forest floor.  Keep coming back to swirling and sniffing, for that matter.  Loving it.  Some slight red fruits but a bit of spice with more mushrooms; soft but defined tannins.  Good length.  Linear although in a positive structural sense - no lack of flesh here.  Quite tasty indeed.
