Wet wood , moss, moist earth tinited by suggestion of dark florals. Briary and brambly. This is quite tannic still with lots of chinese medicine , tree bark and black sour cherries. Austere and backward. A little tired but still holding on to its acidity though losing its fruit.

Confrerie des Chevaliers du Tastevin Singapore Chapitre de l'Orchidee -10th Anniversaire dinner (The Fullerton Hotel, Singapore): Differing opinions on this one - someone thought it was drinking at peak, another thought it had started to go downhill. I enjoyed it very much. Lovely nose - earth, gentle sous bois notes, some meat, and dark, stewed cherries. Fruit had admittedly gone down a little on the palate, but there was still enough for me to make out some fleshy dried cherry tones, along with fresh acid and a grippy structure, sprinkled over with spice. Finish had decent length, clearly started to fade, but still showing nice flavours of haw flakes, orange peel and tea. A lovely wine in its sunset stage.

(Robert Ampeau Volnay 1er Cru "Santenots") This had great dark animal-like fruit with plenty of acidity making it very juicy but still dark. Great stuff. Very fleshy.

Still alive, especially good with partridge, definitely needs to be drunk with food, old but not fragile burgundy.
