Cardamon, earth and fruit is perfectly combined, sweet and bright fruit intensity, cherry damson and strawberry. Stunning. Fleshy, nicely weighted, rich aromatics.

Acker JK 51st birthday in NYC. Aromas of dried plums, red and black fruits, earth and sweet spices, kept smelling it for several minutes. The mouthfeel is uberdense while being weightless, the complex flavors mirroring the nose are wrapped up in layers of silk. Amazing wine, ready now, finishing in a long and chalky saturating finish. This is close to perfection, a stunning wine.

Maybe I’m being a little stingy here - I did like the last one more - but this suffers by comparison with the 96 Beze, which floats above the fray. The 95 Chambertin is an impressive wine, black cherry, roast pigeon, grilled nuts, more intense and evocative on the palate than nose. But this example on this occasion just didn’t move into the next gear.

Needed a good bit of air to fully open and also threw some sediment. Fully mature now with wonderful earth tones and sweet dark cherry fruit. Medium-bodied with an ethereal texture and very fine complexity on the finish with notes of farmer's earth, minerals the finest cherry spice. Lovely authentic Burgundy but not quite as spectacular as a bottle drunk last year.

Pre-2002 Rousseau Dinner (WS NYC): Still felt young and limited compared to the others. Needs more time.
