Ripe and fleshy with floral and peach character. Good depth, good now, but with enough brightness to carry the wine forward.

Lots of orchard fruit from start-to-finish with faint stone fruit hints, overall good concentration and volume, with very good harmony right now. Lots of depth throughout, this brightens up nicely middle forward. From en La Richarde.

Bigger, bolder, and sexier than the charming 2016, this isn't quite as seamless, but has more of nearly everything. Better in another year or three. From en La Richarde.

Very tasty, very fun wit lots of ripe orchard fruit, an enchanting nut butter character, and good weight. Slightly lacking energy on its finish, this is a wonderful wine to enjoy now through the next 5+ years, but probably not best to cellar past that.

Single blind in 96/97/02/03 vertical. My favorite of the vertical, this is completely seamless and harmonious, clearly mature, just not quite showing the greatest density of the flight. Incredibly tasty from start-to-finish. Correctly identified as the 1997.

Single blind in 96/97/02/03 vertical. Mature black fruit with awkward structure to start, this deteriorated in glass, losing steam quickly. A pale shadow of previous bottles.

Single blind in 96/97/02/03 vertical. Correctly identified as the '02. Bold black fruit with meaty notes. Lots of power with good balance, finish sneaks up with even more power, while nearly finessed. Still possible upside from here.

Single blind in 96/97/02/03 vertical. Correctly identified as the '03. Fully mature, but with the best concentration of the flight. This has the sheer volume to keep this fresh and bright enough to enjoy for at least another 5+ (10?) years.

Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. Seemed old and tired with some signs of stewiness that brought out hints of VA and brett. Previous bottles bought at the same time were great.

Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. Seemed old and dirty, eventually cork notes emerged.

Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. Rich red cherry and berry throughout, very dense and powerful. This seemed lush, but the structure was ever-present, just behind in the near background. Very good now, with further upside. Difficult to tell if this was the 2002 or 2003, and I thought wrong.

Also in single blind 96/97/02/03 vertical. More black vs red fruit, this was completely seamless and fully engaging, even if less powerful than the (equally brilliant) 2002. Great length. Difficult to tell if this was the 2002 or 2003, and I thought wrong.

Corked.

Mature cherry on nose and palate, more red vs black fruited, with earth and faint savory spice. Lots here, very nuanced. Very good weight and balance. Much better vs my previous bottle from the same case that opened late last year.

Popped-and-poured, tasted double blind, knowing it was Jadot. Lots here, needs more time. Firm and tannic with lots of power in front of ripe fruit, which made me think this was from 2005. Subdued aromas and a flavor profile of black cherry and plum, meaty notes, and just subtle spice, which took me to Gevrey, thinking it to be Estournelles or Lavaux '05. Oops.

Tasted double blind. Rich and sweet, this had lots of big, bold flavors, just slightly less nuance and subtlety than this tends to show in other great vintages. Still wonderfully fresh. My first time re-tasting since en Primeur in 2004.

Served double blind, obviously old-ish white Burgundy, I thought this approx 2005 or 2006 (ripe vintage) with just enough lingering acidity and brightness.
