This started very dense and tannic. It actually came around nicely. Sure, it always had a pretty hard edge, but for the most part it had dark, dark red fruit, textured, rich, with a pleasant mouthfeel and swallow. Dare I say it will continue to improve.

Perrot-Minot 2001-2005 Tasting (Chicagoland IL): Dense and meaty with lots of black fruit and roasted meat, everything in wonderful harmony, just less complex than the 1er Crus in the flight. But the most enjoyable tonight.

Opened 30 minutes before serving. Lots of black berry and cherry throughout with good+ density for its level. Nicely fresh and well spiced when first poured, more earth emerged with more air. Really excellent Village level wine, this started losing steam after open three hours.

A big step up from the bottle tasted last year. Gorgeous dark burgundy color. Like past bottles, the fruit on the nose is absolutely terrific. There is still evidence of heavy oak treatment, but this bottle has absorbed more of the oak than past bottles. There is a lovely mature sweetness to the finish that was not there before. Still too much manipulation. I like it but look forward to trying more recent vintages. (89)

Well.... there is a lot to like here. The fruit is quite lovely and deep. The nose is complex and spicy. But this wine’s downfall is a dramatic over use of oak that causes the wine to finish with wood instead of what I surmise was some fantastic raw material. I hear the treatment has changed drastically at this domain which can only be good. (87?)

(Perrot-Minot Christophe Gevrey-Chambertin) Despite being tight at the core there is some width and hints of cream on the nose. Much more concentration and structure, but the tannin is almost as fine as the Rousseau - though to a fresher effect. I have a slight preference for this.
