Dinner with a couple burg-heads (Think Cafe): Full spicy gree stemmy nose (that blew off after a time) with dusty fruit. Nice swee spicy red fruit. Much better on the palate than the nose. The wine lost its life and fruit quite quickly in glass. Drink up!

(Drouhin Joseph Griotte-Chambertin) Medium ruby with amber towards the rim. Again an understated red fruit nose with a little coffee and cedar. Absolutely nothing understated once the glass touches your lips, big red cherry fruit assaults the palate - after the exceptional 1993 the flavours are perhaps a little diffuse. There's quite good acidity and medium, slightly grainy tannin. Neither the fat nor the extra length of many here, but drinking now, and supremely elegant. Probably the best 1992 I've tasted and no rush to drink up.

showing beautifully... soft, floral, still very much alive and full of fruit.
