Primary. Red fruits with some darker accents. Good clarity. Lacking Dujac sap. Enjoyable but very young.

2003 Domaine Dujac Echezeaux
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Like a Sonoma Pinot in its ripeness and black, flashy fruits. Similar palate - streamlined but lacking grip. Not a great Dujac.

2000 Domaine Dujac Clos St. Denis
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos St. Denis Grand Cru

1971 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Suchots
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Mature, certainly; raspberry fighting a losing battle with more autumnal notes. Resolved structurally, and fading a bit in the middle, but enjoyable.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru

Flight 4 (3 Notes)
1990 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
Another mediocre '90 la Chapelle. Hard, dark, with firm, aggressive tannins. Needs time but no signs of impending greatness. Yet to see anything in this.

2001 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hommage à Jacques Perrin
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
