Super meaty nose screamed gevrey more than than vosne but the dark fruit profile then steered me to richebourg. Cool, reserved, elegant fruit profile. Perfect grip/structure without being in any way offputting. Authoritative and really superb.

1998 Burgundy horizontal (Noize): Much sweeter on the nose than its dry, savoury flight-mates. Really dense on the palate (as I'd expect from Richebourg), with intense blueberry fruit and a mineral feel. Somehow also fleet-footed and elegant despite its potency - very fine.

Again, dark colour almost to the rim. Supple mouthfeel. Very dark fruited and super spicy. Intense, savoury, hints of leather. Persistently spicy on the long finish.

1998 Burgundy (Noizé, London): Even more lustrous, bright ruby. More evolved on the nose, quite meaty with a touch of decay. Nicely evolved, autumnal and a touch of meat. Chalky tannins. A weight that keeps it grounded, and a savoury edge. Nicely evolved but a touch loose and tending to the flabby with air. ****

(CDV) Joli nez, pas loin d'un fruit noir (cassis) et violette, texture fine, on a bien cru qu'il allait s'ouvrir, mais non, il etait un peu fané et sa structure n'avait rien de transcendante... Pas d'énergie, pas de charme fou, juste un joli petit pinot bien évolué... Peu dire que la déception etait au rendez-vous. 90/91
