This wine was much better than I expected. Initially a little hard but really came on over time. It took an hour and a half to show everything but it was quite good. Earth, wet leaves, hints of cherry and black fruit. A touch of barnyard and asian spices initially. Tannins were a little astringent for about an hour then became very smooth. Really a nice wine. Some tertiary flavors showing through but still has years of development.

Took a flier on this long lost bottle hidden in the back of a shop in the CO mountains. Was afraid by the other notes and disintegrating cork but this is showing quite well. Very pretty nose of intense floral/strawberry perfume with a dose of vosne spice. Seemless palate, pretty secondary, great length. Consistently evolved with spice becoming more prominent in the mouth. Solid bottle

Caramel and red fruit on the nose. The palate was not expressive and elegant for a rsv. The 96 Jadot Grand Echezeaux I had few weeks ago was more floral than this rsv. But the structure of the RSV was slightly better. 96 Jadot red wine has not yet impressed me

Enjoyed. Low aroma but fully mature burg flavors. A treat with magret.
