  Out of magnum and singing! This "off vintage" surprised everyone.
  Powerful yet elegant and floral nose, a la iron fist in a velvet glove.
  On the palate, lots of energy and good complextiy from stone fruits and acidity.
  The first 30 mins were Fantastic though it started to fade quite rapidly as we hit the hour mark.
  All in, a thoroughly enjoyable and wonderful btl of juice for the vintage.

  Epic tasting across 5 decades
  1974 Dirty delicate, floral subtle
  Stemy, a little green but layered and delicious, 94pts
  1982 hawthorn a little watered down preferred the 74, 92pts
  1992 Closed initially and with time in the glass started to open up but just too green and unbalanced to be appreciated at this juncture, 92pts
  1996 a little Green, good structure. Really not ready but has more potential and could be good in a few years, 93pts
  2001 a little oxidized, not scored
  2004 best nose with ephemeral flora aromatics, delicate and layered, simply gorgeous 95pts
  2006 slightly more muted nose than the 2004, but I preferred the palate more than the 04 with just a little bit more complexity. 95pts
  2014 this was my WOTN shows how far modern winemaking has come and is the value wine of the night. Layered structured and simply magnificent. 96pts

  Holiday Burgundy Lunch - Rousseau, Leroy, DRC, Ramonet, d'Auvenay (Scottsdale, Arizona USA): Served blind. Very brown red, showings its age. Pretty spice aroma. Cloudy. Really nice wine, elegant and soft if somewhat faded.

  Seductive nose, bricking indicative of its age, this is a tired wine but still pretty.

  LaTâche Lunch with a Ramonet Starter (Binkley's - Phoenix AZ): Bottle with good color and fill. Popped, decanted and poured. Baking spice with charmingly mature red fruit and cooked shiitake mushrooms. Great (94 point?) aromas are followed by mediocre, tired flavors (85 points?) to start. Everything started to shorten and lose steam after 20 minutes in glass. What a treat.
