  Sadly maderized. Astringent, angular, grassy and brown. Sigh - one wonders what could have been...

  ETHEREAL. Amazing purity at 53+ years. Soft, sliky, purity of fruit (tart cherries) with mushrooms. You couldn't tell this was a 50+ year old wine. Simply ethereal.

  Tawny and silty, with initially lots of earth, sois bois and a noticeable note of liquorice (although less so than the 64 Chambertin served alongside). With air became much richer and sweeter with lovely persistence. Much less hedonistic than the Chambertin, but much more stimulating and memorable. 97pts.

  Mature "Iconic Burgundy" dinner and tasting in Christie's board room, London. Limited note taking.
  Very clear edges deepening to brickish centre. Vegetal ripe fruit aromas with a dash of grainy balsa; brûlée sweet hedge fruit flavours, smooth mature tannins providing structure to this superb wine of great length and breed.
  No rush to drink up.
