The Gerard Potel magic is in full effect. Enchanting aromas of mature dried black cherry filled with stem and herb. The nose is intense but subtly so — a temptress inviting you back for sniff after sniff. Palate is fresh with plenty of life in the fruit and no hint of warm vintage overripeness. Layered and complex. Long with some grip remaining in the finish.

Soft and subtle, in excellent shape for a 30 year old Pinot, but I believe it was too old and it’s complexity had passed it by. Cork wasn’t in ideal shape, and this could be why

Zachys La Paulée Auction, Day Two (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. Ripe black cherry aromas, nicely fresh with hints of maturation. Nicely balanced with an expanding finish. Seems as much Volnay as Pommard, but that's the terroir. No hurry to drink up.

Brief note from memory. This was from magnum and in great shape. I remember many of the 1990 burgs as a little rough just out of the gate, but this showed none of that. in a perfect drinking window tonight, but in this format no hurry. was an amazing accompaniment to thksgiving dinner. thanks Kevin!

Beautiful aroma of iron floating from the glass and blue fruit on the palate. I will save my last bottle for 10 plus years.
