  Slow ox for one hour. This is in great shape. Strawberry, red cherry, herbs and earth come through. This wine is remarkably fresh, shows the trademark high acidity of the vintage but has enough fruit to stay in balance. There is a little bit of rusticity around the edges and finish is a little short but overall this is in a good place. I would drink over the next five years.

  Took this to Harvest Moon for birthday dinner. Started off with a bit of mustiness, then bit of brown sugar. Fruit seemed a bit stewed on the nose, but also with some spice. Palate was quite good, with some rusticity, good acid, tannins not fully resolved. Sort of a middle of the road aged Burgundy -- not a standout, but no slouch, either.

  Nice fruit underneath but musty and corked slightly but enough to ruin it. Screwcaps anyone?

  From the lost corners of the cellar ! Cherry red colour, quite dense. This wine had a fine nose of dark cherry, strawberry and redcurrant with a strong earthy game character that added complexity. The palate was medium weight with lovely purity and balance and a refreshing touch of cumquat sorbet on the finish. It was a fine textbook Nuits coming into its own at 20 years !

  very bright and expressive ripe red cherries and pomegranate on the nose. acidity was wonderful and gave a great lift to the wine. excellent clarity of flavor and body, this was a truly great bottle, and definitely not opened too soon. decanted about 3 hours prior to drinking.
