  Reputedly sourced from THE domaine. This wine is beginning to enter its stride. Lovely VR spice, soy, Worcester sauce. Some lift from the stems. Lovely now but will be great in another 5 years or so

  Purple red but also with a bit of amber. Gave it two hours in the decanter. Very nice perfumed nose of liquorice, raspberry and violets. The perfume comes through in the flavour. A touch skinny and tannic, more time for this to peak yet. Fells out a bit in the glass. Certainly a Gand Cru nose. A bit like a decent Gevrey in style.

  1990s Burgundy, second attempt (Noize): Mature, elegant and lifted on the nose, with deep strawberry fruit, damp earth, undergrowrth and an overall sense of brightness - exactly what I'd want. Bright and juicy on the palate, with more strawberry. Wonderfully savoury with the food and a tasty truffley finish. Yum.

  Good texture - nicely refined while still showing some tannic grit. Not as exquisite as RSV can be, but classy just the same. Fruit may be in a somewhat in-between state, the primary is mostly gone though it has enough black tones to avoid a bricked complexion. Lacks the exotic spiciness you want out of RSV, though, and instead the fruit is adorned with a leafy, spearminty green. Can't tell if this is past its best or a few years away from it, but tonight it's a bit of a letdown.

  I last tasted this over 5 years ago and thought it seemed elderly. In fact, I couldn’t have been more wrong. It must have been going through a dull phase, but it is now opening up to become a rather fine grand cru. It is well structured, quite dense, with rich, dark fruit and a long finish. There is still a slight bitterness to the fruit which should go as it develops further. Perhaps I should wait another 5 years before drinking my last bottle.
