With Club des Vingt, alongside the 1955 and the 1985 DRC. This was the marginal preference of most of those present, although to me the 1955 was equally beautiful. Still vigorous. Still holding beautiful cherry fruit on nose with lovely bottle complexity. Very intense on palate, with tannins largely dissipated but a lovely harmony and a very long finish. About as great a Burgundy as I can remember.

Last bottle. With Winston at Bistro Provence, shared with Yannick Cam. Deep but bright, almost youthful, color. Immediately forthcoming nose of ripe cherries with smoky overtones. Similar intense ripe fruit dominates palate. Lovely balance and length. May be the best burgundy tasted in recent memory.

I see that you have Hudelot-Noellat Clos de Vougeot GC 1964. I'm interested in purchasing a bottle(s) of this. Can you help please?! Duncan
