Still drinking well, though don't hold on to stocks any longer. An earthy pinot, background of strawberries and cherries, not in your face fruit. Lovely experience to drink this with friends.

Vertical Tasting of Chevillon Nuits Vieilles Vignes (Vin Vino, Palo Alto): For comparison, deeper in color and less advanced appearing than the '02. This was the first wine to show predominantly more mature, complex Burgundian aromas in which it was more difficult to pick out individual elements. The palate lags the nose though in its degree of development and maturity. A lower acid, medium plus weight wine, it shows beautifully integrated soil and cherry/dark berry fruit but is tannic and clearly needs more time. Beautiful concentration without being chunky. For me, the most complete wine of the group and a fabulous village wine. OK, it is not the most chiseled example of Burgundy, but this is Nuits, not Chambolle. Based upon this sample, I can't wait (but most certainly will wait) to try the Chevillon '99 Premier Crus. In this vintage, I'd bet that this village wine would compare very favorably with some of the lesser Premier Crus.
