Tasted blind. Dusty nose initially revealing sous bois and raspberry. Lean but fruity, unmistakable Cote de Nuit, very fine acidity and tannin. Ready but in the beginning of its drinking window.

A pleasant but not particularly inspiring bottle. Some smoke and bacon on the nose, followed by red fruit with good acidity. The tannins are a bit dry, though, and the wine lacks depth and complexity.

A real disappointment considering the pedigree and vintage. A sound bottle that was properly stored, but with fairly light mature but plain aromatics and it went downhill from here. High acid, thin and uninspiring.

Advanced , a touch of brick , a slight spritzer on the palate but very long and deep , good stuff but drink now , although I bought at auction and this could have been advanced by poor storage

Coravin Sample. Light garnet. Great complexity on the nose - dried red and dark fruits, spice, chinese tea, smoke, barnyard, savoury, mushroom. Fully developed. High acidity, medium tannins, a little drying, medium + body, similar flavours on the palate to the nose, long finish. This is very good mature Burgundy although it lacks the depth and genuine integration of all the parts to make it really outstanding.
