While definitely showing signs of oxidation through ageging this is not pre-moxed. shows the classic Sauzet richness, with the flintiness of Puligny. Nice but past its best.

Very mature nose, sweet fruits, some fudge, reminds a bit of an old champagne. Taste is medium bodied, perhaps lacking some acidity, but the taste is ok as well as length. I suppose a classic, a bit over-the-hill burgundy, good but not great.

We opened this with great anticipation, and we all were disappointed. Very little on the nose (and citrusy at that), thin on the palate, and a bit too acidic for a wine with this much time in the bottle. If it was a $20 bottle we would have been fine, but at $50 we had reason to expect more. Wine Spectator gave it a 92, but that was back in 1997. Likely that the wine is over the hill.
