nice over two nights, good acid and edgy grip, high acid, would have been a couple points higher if the fruit had been more present / rounded to offset the lively fruit and spice, good drink nonetheless

score is for night one, nose was nice with cherries, palate was fruited with a stewed element and some minerals undertones, rich and full-bodied for a burgundy, touch of sweetness… on night two it was a little muddied… the wine was also very very cloudy so it might not have been the 24 hours of being opened but the fact that the second half (had on night two) had more of the cloudy material influence

What a surprise. Drank blind at a burgundy dinner. Vigorous colour not much Bricking . Powerful nose multiple layered still some primary fruit with lots of mineral and forest floor. Multifaceted palate with richness balance and power. The others couldn't believe it was a 1997 and it was only a notch below a delicious 1998 Rousseau ruchottes which came next.

From memory. Bright colour still very red. Sweet and sour nose but fresh. Good fruit and balance but finish lacked clarity and excitement.
