  My favourite just from Hudelot Noellat Richebourg 2000 and Rene Engel Clos Vougeot 2002. Still quite deep ruby. Colour of a wine much younger! Lots of dark fruit and substance on the palate. Nose is deep forest, truffle, black cherry, leather and some soil/spice notes. Bigger and bolder than the other 2 wines, maybe less pure but more savage and powerful. Great with a 28ox rib eye (between 2 of us!) Fabulous and lots of life in this wine. Sadly only 2 left from an OCB...

  6th out a 12bt OWC. Still delicious from the get go. Lovely bright core of ruby but clearly looking mature. Really seductive and ripe nose that is at the high end of the scale of pleasurable! Great spicy mouthful of ripe cherry fruit and decent length. Still holding together very well despite not having too much acidity left in it. Mistaken initially for the DRC Echezeaux until it was served later so it couldn't be too bad! Great value to quality ratio! Cheapest wine served and placed 2nd/10 by an experienced group of drinkers.

  This was a surprise in contrast to earlier bottles. Lovely colour. Soft tones of red berries and light earthy nose. On the palate there was a certain freshness. There was lovely balance and ervything was held lightly together. Not long but suffiicient to provide a sense of completeness.

  Bottle was drunk at Goto (a wonderful Japanese rstaurant opened by Chef Goto who used to cook for ambassador Kojima till he eas posted to Australia last Sept.). The cork was soft and broke. We had to pushed it in and decanted the botte though a sieve ! It held up well. Bouquest was lovely. Opening up in the glass to a wonderful aroma of dark cherries, a hint of soy, candied red fruits. On the plate it had good balance of acids and fruits.

  Pleasing nose of an aged Burg. On the palate it was pleasant enough with a cocktail or berries, but slighly short.
