Medium red core with brown rim and some brown hints throughout. Woody nose with toast, coffee, mushroom, and meat notes showing. On the palate, a black cherry, strawberry, and rhubarb red fruit element appears and combines with mushroom and sous bois elements. The finish has a bit of drying tannin and notes of leather appear. This appears to be past prime, but was drinkable and would complement a meal. Drink.

(Chevillon Robert Nuits St.Georges Les Vaucrains) Plenty of oak still on a nose that narrowly avoids reduction. Where the aromatics don’t involve, the palate delivers more; good dimension set against a furry tannin. Overall this is quite good but no more.

Second bottle, not much different than first.

Fully mature, if not past its peak. Fruit is gone. Better with food.

Chevillon Vaucrains vertical 1979-2004 (RSJ, London): Smooth, deep, sappy, the secondary aromas well developed, very attractive

Chevillon Nuits Vaucrains Vertical, 1985-1998 (RN 74, San Francisco): Medium ruby. Stalky, green nose that picks up some fruit. Dilute and diffuse without either clear fruit or defining acidity. Forgettable and a poor example of 1997.
