September 16, 2016 - Absolutely gorgeous. Even better than last time. It too about 20 minutes to open up, lose the funk and come together. This isn't as savory as last time. There's a solid fruit core and even some sweetness is felt on the midpalate. The nose though remains sanguine and full of iron. Probably one of the best aged Burgundies I have drank to date.

March 28, 2016 - Stand this up a day or two cause it is cloudy off the rack. Very cloudy. Aged garnet red in color. The nose is quiet initially, and somewhat funky on the palate. Ten minutes after popping, this is a different wine. It comes together. Lots of iron on the nose and savory upon entry but the mid-palate is sweet with red fruit. Mature but not overripe. This is definitely brighter than the '66 Ganoux I had a few days ago. It finishes shorter too. Very impressed for the wine's age.
