Wow if this is how an AR off vintage Mazy-Chambertin tastes like I will need to stock up on the top vintages. Bottle was in my cellar for 13 years and clearly outclassed a 2001 Clos de La Roche by Armand Rousseau. Opened the bottle and aerated for a couple of hours and the wine was singing. Metallic deep ruby color, dense. On the nose lots of dark red and black berries and cherries, hints of blood, some spice. Delicate on the palate, paired extremely well with Guinea fowl, expands mid palate, tannins still there but ethereal and a tension driven finish. The real surprise of the night.

Opened at Octavium in HK. Slow-oxed and served blind.
Knew it was Burg from the start, but was completely off on Domaine, Terroir and Producer. Very solid red burgundy, but nothing really shouting out at me in the glass. Perhaps this is already slightly tired?
Still, a super generous treat from J - and a very welcome idea to throw in a burg into a supposedly non-burg lineup.

A mature colour, but not old; ripe, lush fruit, redcurrant/cherry, with savoury elements and good persistence and length. A very fine wine for current drinking.

A mature colour, garnet/brown; medium to full on the palate, quite elegant with a mixture of red fruit and more vegetal elements. A fine, mature Burgundy, perhaps a touch elderly.

Quite a deep colour; the palate is dark-fruited, slightly burnt and with a touch of spice. Quite intense and long. Showing maturity, but can still be kept.
