Superb showing for this wine. Dark color, but no hint of oxidation. Just a damn fine Burgundy at peak. Tremendous finish, this actually showed better than the '99.

Food: French Duration: 4.5 hours Condition: perfect Aroma: fried sesame, caramel, nuts, banana, vanilla Notes: acidity still on the high side. Quite smooth on the palate with a pretty toasty aftertaste. A little minerality in the wine which i didn't expect from this vintage. I would say that this is approaching its drinking window after 3.5 hours of breathing and it's starting to get better every minute. I liked this wine. Excellent effort. Drink now-2025.

Very ripe stone fruit aromas with some roasted almonds and toasted brioche, plus faint wintergreen hints. Ripe and rich flavors as well that was surprisingly fresh, very dense and powerful. This remained consistent through three hours open and in glass. As good or better vs a bottle of Ramonet 1997 Montrachet from a week ago.

I found this to be a bit tired and slightly oxidized. Waxy citrus fruits. Flat.
