  Cork soaked to the capsule. Turning autumnal and savory. This wine has always been beleaguered by astringency. This may never be a pretty thing. A bit high-toned.

  Slight bricking colour in an otherwise ruby red hue. The red cherry fruit is perfectly ripe for my taste (without tasting extracted), but overall rather simple and a bit flat. There's some subtle hints of minerals and leather, and the texture is very smooth but lacks any substance. As another taster noted it's a Grand Cru in name only as it tasted more like a well made village wine.

  Light ruby core with pale edges. Some earth and flowers in the bouquet. A bit thin on the palate and some of the fruit is gone, but good complexity, with steel and leather notes, and no rough edges. Enjoyable, but not memorable.

  Light ruby with mature glint. Lean, earthy, austere Clos Vougeot with lots of green, stemmy notes and not much flesh to back it up. I think it has faded compared to a bottle drunk 2 years ago. Grand Cru in name alone.

  Wine soaked cork. I followed this for four hours. Tawny infiltrating the edge. Aromas of camphor and wild flowers. Smooth entry. Black cherry and mineral palate. This tightened up over time, so the best is yet to come. Five years ago, this was wine for beavers. The wood has receded, but the finish is still drying. This was stellar on the pour. I'm looking forward to the next one. 91
