  Solid cork. Beautiful and appropriate color - paling at the rim. This wine is fine - with lovely balance in its components. There is the restrained aromatics that is Taillepeids - quite dark red and mysterious. The fruit on the palate is quite pure - not too many savory or woodsy notes interrupting a line of ripe mixed fruit with quite a lot of depth. There is concentration in a natural way. The fruit is perfectly ripe - but only just as with the best 1993s. Impeccable acid and the tannins are really well managed with only a hint of dryness. Corroborating evidence that Taillepieds holds up really well. This still has some lift. Serious Cote de Beaune red of considerable interest. Bought on release

  Robust deep ruby, touch of tawniness throughout, and a good colour to the rim. Nose is bright and floral - just a trace of VA - with nice blackberry/mulberry fruit and a trace of sousbois. Clean, well poised mouth entry. Nice and full and firm on the midpalate with gamey and black fruit flavours and a touch of spice. Well balanced finish of good length. A delightful mature wine. ***
