  Wow. It was stunning from the first whiff. this wine is explosive….candied red fruit, minerals, floral aromas. Very intricate and matching flavors with a beautiful savory vintage character. I’ve had virtually perfect Beze (and Chambertin) from this vintage and would be curious to see this side by side as I think it would pull its weight.

  Light pinot color with not much indication of age. A gentle nose expressing red fruit. This wine is fabulous. I will confess that I don't find it multidimensional, but that's OK. What it does give you is greatness. Raspberry, strawberry, cherry. Tannins are relaxed and silky smooth. It's nearly 40 years old, so one should approach this wine with the respective expectations. A medium long finish.

  Not the best bottle as it had neither the length on the finish or the spice that one should get here

  A gorgeous elegant old school red burgundy, with wild strawberry notes, smoke, ash, spice, truffle, sous bois woodsy and feral notes. It has wonderful precision, tension and weightlessness across the palate. It has a fabulous finish, and remains fresh and vibrant through the whole evening and into the next day. A wine of sheer beauty, classicism and harmony.
