  Delicious. Port on the nose. Definite old world flavors of earth and black cherry.

  Nice earth tones and wilted flower at this stage; amazing shape for this level, really nice on the palate, smooth, plush, good weight and soft tannins, med. acid, really nice mouthfeel; after 20 minutes it fell apart a bit, getting musty on the nose; but what a great wine otherwise, a simple but very pleasing wine, perfect age right now, testament to the vintage I suppose. W/ homemade kungpao chicken.

  Nice, mellowed Cote de Nuits, still with ripe berry notes and a touch of spice; this has aged very well for this level and could go another 2-4 years. Held up ok to Epoisses--much better than a Saint Peray Marsanne which clashed. 88-89.

  What goes better with rabbit in mustard sauce than Burgundy? I picked this one as I knew it was on the riper/bigger scale of the spectrum, and boy was I right. Blind, I might have guessed cool-climate CA or perhaps NZ (not OR). The nose was more dark, sour berries than red ones, with hints of smoky oak thrown into the mix. Not in an unpleasant way, but it was noticeable (granted, I am somewhat new oak averse). The palate was silky and smooth and slightly sweet, with just the right amount of tartness at the back to balance out the big fruit. All this surrounded a core of minerality but also almost obscured it, which is not what I like in my red Burgs. That said, it was very nice with the rabbit, and the finish was long. Still, I'm glad this was my last bottle, I won't be rushing out to buy these again as they're not my preferred style (I like more precision and transparency in my red Burgs).

  Dinner at the Peking Duck House with the Croatian Cuddler (New York City, New York, USA): Sulky, reductive and very unforgiving at first, after about 90 minutes this relented and moved to a tangy, funky and fun wine with stinky pickle barrel and rhubarb on the nose and still slightly reductive but fun sour cherry on the palate.
