  10/2/2013 - Sycamore Likes this wine:

  Really nice. Bottle/cork in great shape. Still fairly vibrantly red with a little bricking. Very expressive nose -- runs the full "old Burgundy" gamut, really. Same can be said for the palate; most striking aspect is the vibrant acidity, which on its own makes it seem as though a well-stored bottle of this will show well over the next 5 or so years. Hard to "score", but if forced would put this in the low 90's somewhere.......

  Very pretty and complex. Acidity is still there that gives a fresh feel to the old red fruit, earth and wood that dominate the palate. Drink in the near term.

  Hudelot-Noellat Dinner with Charles Van Canneyt (Sepia - Chicago IL): Very alluring floral start with meaty spice and a good balance of black fruit and forest floor. Similar balance of fruit and earth on palate, also well spiced. Much better when first poured than 30 minutes later, going down hill quickly from around a "92 point" wine.

  Tasted at the Sampler:
  
  Evolved orange garnet showing its age; sweet autumn leaves on nose. No earth or mushroom; delicious elegant palate, lovely flavours and complexity. Leather, spice, cinnamon, ginger. Elegant delicate texture. Drink now.
