  I almost didn’t give this a score as I was initially turned off by a distinct maderized note on initial nosing; on second snort this was showing distinct chocolate notes. It continued to open with the maderized note being pushed aside. The guest who brought it expressed disappointment in that it didn’t show as well as previous bottles he’d enjoyed. I suspect it would have shown better had he decanted it prior to traveling across town with it. It was pleasant enough but not as good as I’d have expected for a great producer’s gran cru from a great vintage.
