Saturday, April 20, 2024 - What a bummer. This is a Grand Cru?! No way. The bottle looked to be in perfect shape, intact cork soaked about half way up. A tiny hint of browning right at the rim, but otherwise the wine looks fine. This is 25 yrs old after old.

Not fragrant at all- some red fruits, a bit of leather, you really have to go hunting around for aromas. Good acid in the mouth, some powdery tannins, red cherries, other nondescript red fruits, leather. Finish is decently long. Started to decline after a few hours open.

I really think this was a sound bottle. It wasn't cooked, oxed, corked, anything like that. But jeez, for what this wine should be, the complexity, concentration, and just plain impact is sorely lacking. And it's EXPENSIVE. Somewhat pleasant at best. If you told me this was a Bourgogne rouge from a middling producer I'd believe you. Not worth it at all.
