  Oxidative now but works pretty well if you are into this. Two bottles with very different evolution.

  Golden hue, honey caramel, almost like a dessert wine. Just a little too rich and prob to be drank up

  Deep yellow - the colour and apple nose initially worries but after 30mins the wine opened wonderfully. Honey and spiced pear flavours and much better with food than expected. Deeper and spicier than most vintages but also somewhat heavier as a result. Paired best with braised pork cheek. Drink for 2030. 94pts

  We had a bottle of the 1999 last year which was so badly oxidized it was undrinkable. So I opened this with trepidation. A deep yellow color had me worried at first but it open up to a wonderful dry apricot candied note. A really rich and profound wine - a Corton-Charlemagne like power.

  The best of the three old vintages tasted vertically (1999+2000+2001). Nose: succulant winter apples, a nice apple-like bouquet. Palate: luscious, with ripe apple-y fruit, a bit of honey, long. Still very much alive (once you let it breathe a little).
