Really nice bottle, the fruit was dense, very meaty and showed 2001 dark Texture... no browning on the rim this still has lots of time, with air more fruit came through, would be really good with braised beef. Not ce layers and very grand cru. Try again in 5 years.

Light ruby center with fading. Right out of the bottle, a lot of oak with an off-putting coconut aspect. Additionally, with air, stems, licorice, and mixed red fruit in a disjointed mix. Medium weight, high acidity, and a somewhat stern feel. Not lush or sweet in the least, but very nice raspberry and black cherry came up and eventually stood up to the underlying firmness. Tannic, woody finish. If I sound unconvinced by this bottle, it's because I was. I can't say that I have had a particularly successful relationship with this producer.

Deep ruby. Initial blast of oak, but then game and red fruit. Dense to start, loosened as it opened, some cooler green tones, excellent acidity. One of the better Perrot-Minots I've had, but still not aligned to my taste.
I came back to the dregs 2 nights later and was amazed at how the cherry fruit had sweetened and it had developed a spicy nuance that was nowhere to be found right after opening it. The wood had not disappeared, but it was much more tolerable and better incorporated.

Good thanksgiving pairing. Not as impressive as the '02 Rion Gevrey served along w it but still going strong. Agree w the ripe somewhat tannin free experience. Bright fruit w at least a hint of the fundamental Burgundian barnyard nose. Short well balanced end game where the mineral-ity revealed clay more than limestone if that's even possible. Gumby more than the hulk.

Eclectic Wine Dinner (goosefoot - Chicago IL): Served alongside Perrot-Minot 2001 Mazoyeres-Chambertin. All black fruit with moderate spice, well integrated new oak. Hints of some animale and gamy background notes. I found the two wines very similar, no surprise given geographic proximity, but the Mazoyeres just showing slightly "more" of everything.
