  Great bottle but the time is now. This is definitely at its apex if not just ever so slightly beginning the slow, gradual, inevitable decline. Today, it is still very good. Lots of secondary nuanace, good fruit, acidity fading but still something there. Some slight rim variation but nothing major. Drink up for sure but quite nice and this a classic Ech.

  Pnp. Quite floral with integrated oak, red fruit and citrus. Palate has tart fruit and friendly oak but the gc weight is missing.

  Cork almost pushed in to the wine when I tried to insert the corkscrew. Very soft cork and clearly not an air tight plug any longer. Initially this smelled foul. After 15-20 minutes was better. Funk blew off after 30 and it gained weight. It became a wonderful aged Burg after an hour and drank well for 2 hours. Hour 3 it began to fall apart. Clearly not the best bottle from condition standpoint but while it was drinking well it was 94-95 pts. Secondary notes and loads of nuance. Good Vosne spice on the nose. Some bricking but not too much. Hope my last bottle is in better shape.

  Decanted but drank right away. The cork disintegrated getting it out. Frankly think the decant did this well. Light ruby red. In that perfect spot of nuance, secondary and tertiary flavors and ever changing in the glass (for the better). Loads of complexity. Strong finish. Went well with a spicy pork chop and sausage.

  Very pale salmon colour with some browning. Nose gorgeous with strawberries, cherry, game and spice. Palate medium weight but very complex and interesting with the intensity without weight descriptor important in understanding this wine. Fine with soft and long finish. Clearly a light touch with the extraction here in 1995. I would drink up on this bottle though.
