Bottle breathe for 2 hours. Expressive perfume nose with ripe fruit and sense of integration. The palate is smooth with berry, branches, earthy note and medium finishing with some spice. Overall a gentle and mature wine which is fully enjoyable now

Weekly tasting group RWP #347; 1999 (@ BS): Beautiful and deep bouquet with tobacco, some vanilla and graphite. On the palate fresh red fruit acidity, chocolate, beautifully integrated oak and mild tannin with still a soft and pleasant bite. Great wine.

Monthly Tasting Group HWS #100; Jubllee tasting with dinner: Beautifully mature bouquet with ripe fruits, forest scents, perfume and a touch of pleasant barnyard. On the palate a beautiful and harmonious wine with a good concentration. Still some berry fruits, beautifully integrated acidity and tannin and some earth. The tannin still has a soft but pleasant bite. Beautiful, mature and complex Burgundy. Completely ready now and it can last a few years as well, but no reason to wait any longer.

superb. Opened for 90 minutes before we dug in - deep, earthy, fleshy, dark red with no signs of age; large-framed pinot that kept getting better throughout the evening, perfect pairing with grilled fish. Wish we had more!

Alliance dinner. Drank over 2 hours. I really liked this. Great spice on the nose, dark fruit, earth and stemmy on the palate. Great grip. Medium finish.
