Pre Christmas wine dinner, opened in the morning, the bottle was off, cooked, stewed meat, was about to pour it down but my cousin said to cork it back till dinner & lo & behold, back from the dead! Funk blew off to reveal a pretty good aged burgundy, still not as good as previous bottle, moral of the story - old burgs best to open & let it breathe

Cork seeped right through but wine was fine, light red, cherries, mushrooms & truffles, good complexity in the mouth, layered & absolutely delicious, drinking at its peak, drank with 78 Montrose, 96 Francois Gaunoux Epenots & 98 Rayas

Last of 12, opened 30 minutes, perfect cork and level, previous notes since 97 variable fro fine to very good, this bottle flawed, but the underlying wine seemed good, if old.

Clos Vougeot Dinner (Lavandou): Another winner in my book. Beautiful plum and cherry notes. Very refined but still had life. I wish there was a bit more polish. I clearly prefer my Burgs a touch aged.

Wineflock - 1970-1990 Grab Bag tasting (My House): Pale crimson red color. Full briar black cherry nose. nice rich ripe sweet black cherry with some spice on the finish. Good structure remaining and the fruit is holding fine. A very nice burg - 93-93 pts.
