This is the best I have tasted this wine. Now full of mature flavors of dead leaf and wet wool. Complex and medium weight. Still bright in color with a brick-ish edge. Very enjoyable.

From our very cool cellar this wine is still young. Very dark for a 21 year old Burgundy with a fluffy sediment. Good depth but not oozing with Pinot Noir character that I would have expected. Light tannins. Enjoyable but not top notch. It has hardly any of the classic old Burgundy characteristics of wet wool, dead leaf and roasty character. Perhaps a few more years.

Hit or miss I suppose as the first bottle that was purchased was bad. This second one was just right. A classic aged burgundy with nice secondary notes of over-ripe strawberries and worn leather. Pleasant deep nuances of burnt caramel and cider. Delicious now.

not much to this. tart cherries, leather, acid. Nothing particularly memorable, but not flawed in any way.
