  November 4, 2005 - Sotheby's Tasting (New York, NY): Tasting. Very good fruit and balance, performs well for the vintage, but at its peak today, time to drink up.

  February 9, 2000 - 1988 Chambertin Grand Cru, AC Chambertin, Domaine Jacques Prieur, 12.5%
  A fair sediment was evident, so this was decanted. It could probably have done with just a bit longer left with the bottle vertical first. An even, mature brick red - pale with faint hints of orange. Powerful nose, though there's little fruit: warm and rounded with roasty, toasty hints and depth and complexity. Fairly soft attack. Rather flat and even on the palate. Maybe it's a little past it (it was a half price bin end)? In a Riedel Burgundy glass there's much more character on the nose, with mushroomy and leathery scents, though still rather flat and even. Quite a bit of tannin, but lacking in character on the palate. Disappointing.
  5-10 minutes later: I'll take that back. This is improving dramatically and turning into a really meaty Burgundy with some hidden depths that are only just beginning to show themselves. There's a roast game side to the nose starting to show. Actually, now it's beginning to seem a bit too young, and the tannins are really coming forward. Very Good(+?)
