  Tasted blind. The nose is fantastic but incongruent with the palate. Ripe aromas of plum jam, cherries, beef fat and old leather. In the mouth it’s a bit lean and tannic, nice but not great.

  13.5% abv. Light clear garnet, slight bricking, med amount of clear staining of tears. On nose cherries, clove, sweet tobacco, garden bush. Quite bright and acidic in mouth, plenty of tannins to go several more years (bottle had no cork issues, stored exceptionally well), med weight, long layered 60+ sec finish, lots of power left. Tart cherry, pomegranate, mushrooms with red wine reduction, saddle leather, cigar box. I haven’t had a burgundy this aged before, and this is far from top shelf, but its quite a treat.

  Was roasting a duck so immediately thought of Burgundy, and although I'd been saving this for a special occasion there's no time like the present. Bottle obviously in excellent condition from the first pour (although I double-decanted for sediment), although for the first 20 minutes or so the 1996 acidity was rather too much to the fore. Thereafter this was soft sweet fruit and the suggestion of sous bois. Refreshing and continually demanded another sip; had there been another bottle I'm sure the two of us would have polished that off too.

  Lovely nose with leather, dark fruit, and cherry. Palate showed what an aged classic burgundy should expressive with mineral driven dark fruit. Like many 96, the fruit was tart. Enjoyable but finish was short.
