Superb. Somehow, and contrary to other reviews on this site, this wine had still not peaked, and just got better with every minute out of the bottle. We would have needed superhuman self-restraint to make it last any longer than we did (ca. 90 minutes). Breathtakingly good stuff -- to my taste, nothing else even approaches Burgundy. properly aged, at this level.

This was a bit smelly on the nose but very good on the palate , lots of chambertin depth and strength, lovely and in a good zone but may have been better a few years back

Initially thought this was great. Great perfume on the nose with a myriad of aromas. Great red fruit on the palate with a long, long finish....however, started to unwind some for me with time in the glass. Potentially ever so slightly cooked, or perhaps a small, small bit of taint? Or, just falling apart (early, I know) with air? Not sure, but very promising, this bottle just did not close how it opened.

Cafe Pinot: dark ruby red with bricking-brown flecs; very much a shame that this wine was corked. Was really looking forward to this!
