Several nights ago, with a light dinner, Jean opened a bottle that I had
placed in the "drink soon" rack. Tonight, with the leftover duck
salmis, I returned to the bottle after 3 days:

2005 Baudry Chinon "La Croix Boisée" ($21.99)
nose: meaty, dark fruit
palate: rich, dark plum fruit, forest floor, pencil lead, high acidity,
fine tannins

Even after 3 days, the fruit is still vibrant, but there are more
secondary elements. Very nice with the duck and a wine with a long
future ahead of it.
