By Bill Nanson
(Giroud Camille Gevrey-Chambertin Cazetiers) This has an impressive, deep, sweet, caramel old wine nose; no funk, no nasties just ‘irony’ (not ironic) and interesting for sniff after sniff. Smooth on the palate, it expands very nicely as you move towards the finish. The tannins are very well managed unlike (still) some from ‘76. Very alive, some elegance and quite some personality. Like many older Girouds, it doesn’t show quite the complexity you expect from the age - or the length, but despite not classing it as ‘great’, I would certainly class it as a lovely glass that was much appreciated.

Quite evolved sweet dried fruits on the nose - mainly cranberry; nice texture on the palate. Light and silky. Lacking complexity but a good example from 1976.

Earth and mushroom, some red fruit still showing through, actually more than would be expected. I would agree with some of the other reviewers - a bit like an old port. I've not had that many aged wines but this was certainly one of the better ones, everything coming together, even if this is not quite to my exact taste.

Berry Bros & Rudd - One Day Burgundy Wine School (Berry Bros, London): Old burgundy, light farmyard, perhaps a little porty
fully mature burgundy, it does taste incredible, all kinds of things going on but not really for me. If I went for supper and someone gave me this I'd be very happy but I wouldn't go and buy it myself (and not just because it's 189 GBP a bottle.

Second bottle after a corked one. Really good. Well softened and elegant red fruit notes, but more tea and, while very clean, some underbrush notes. Drinking really well right now - softened but still high pitched and balanced. Very nice.
