PnP. ABV 13.5%. From the same case as previous bottles. Nose is not entirely clean, mildly corked but drinkable. Still plenty of tannins on the entry, how do you tame a Vaucrains? Excellent acidity to Keep it lively though. Yet to reach maturity plateau, really? For a 31 years old wine? Robust and good structure, a big 1er Cru. This should last at least another 15 to 20 years.

(SYP) PNP Initially lots of oak. Breathes up nicely to show notes of dark fruit, vanilla, earth, spices, flowers, blueberries and tea leaves. Good concentration in the mouth. The tannins are dusty and grainy, and the finish is quite acidic.

It has been quite a while, time to have another go at this. Clean nose, no sign of cork issues well known for this vintage of Chevillon. Mostly dark soils on the nose with just a touch of floral notes. Slightly nervy, so typical of this vintage. Tannins mostly resolved, no longer showing so much “rough” tannins of this site. Decent length and complexity. Finally reached plateau and should last for a while yet. Pretty good but you better like dark soils though! Nose turned more floral by the 2nd glass but palate still mostly dark soils. Never faded over 4 hours, still have a long way to go, 40 years wine?? Kept a glass for 2nd night, this just continued to chug along, more silky and floral, amazing, surely will be 40 to 50 years wine.

PNP. Really nice right out of the bottle, and improved with 30 minutes of air. Soft, ripe fruit. Nice secondary elements. Long finish that is so much more complete than many 1993s I have had. Would be drinking now but wish I had more. A-/A
