  Translucent ruby color. Red cherries, tobacco, some smoked meats on the nose. Medium-light body, medium-plus acid. Tart fruit, initial a bit thin but picking up more body with air, orange citrus, especially blood orange, and a pleasant hint of chalkiness. Not a standout for the secondary market price, but elegant and enjoyable.

  Crazy youthful and fresh with crunchy red Pinot fruit, Vosne spice, and that 1996 structure and acid. Very pretty today but huge upside.

  Pale colour some browning. Opened for an hour but not decanted. light elegant nose which was muted for the first hour then started to show. Fresh on palate , gently sweet red fruit with very good intensity. Long gentle finish. Fully mature now so drink last two bottles soon.

  Colour pale but bright. Only a little browning. Lovely lifted mineral nose which changed to sweeter wild strawberries with time. Beautiful balanced firm fruit, high acidity but bags of complexity. One for the enthusiast. Lovely

  This was gorgeous from the beginning. Bight cherry nose with some baking spice. On the palate red cherry fruit, some black tea, and balanced acid. A nice savory note at the end. Drinking wonderfully. Better than the 96 Suchots the last couple of times which was a bit acidic.
