Opened several hours prior, and consumed with Iberico pork at Proof DSM, this wine was in a very very nice place. A tad introverted at first, it slowly emerges with orange peel and a variety of spice notes. The mouthfeel is soft, the tannins melting somewhat. The wine is light on its feet, yet with real underlying power. Long finish. This wine, at roughly midlife, hits most of the "maturing" burg notes for me. Highly pleasurable.

This is green and will never lose it! It has age via colour but is locked in a time warp of development, the primary,green, covers up the secondary. Keep away from 96 red burgundies, forever young( and green!)

Sous bois, cherry, nose has an intensity but complexity is somewhat absent; palate is smooth, rounded, integrated, faded fruits; depth, persistence, poise; later - some pear emerging on nose and palate, increasingly integrated

Very good. Floral with flowers, red fruit, stems and integrated oak. Very ready and transperent.
