  Needs some air, too rushed.

  Garnet colour, completely clean and youthful. Nose is exceptionally fragrant and exploding with sweetness and a loft, ethereal beauty. This is as near-perfect a Pinot Noir as I've ever had the privilege to know. Impeccable. So so light and yet throbbing with power. All the yin and yang, all the beauty.

  Quite mineral and flinty, some cranberry fruit and crunchy acidity, almost a hint of spritz. Needs food. This was expensive when I bought it and the few bottles left on sale are astronomical. Fine to drink but definitely not good value for my palate - I've preferred other vintages of this.

  From 75cl, impeccable provenance and perfect storage: moved only once (within Europe) since original purchase on release. Cork soaked back to end, but still OK, no obvious faults. First impression: this is fizzy, tastes like baking powder and yeasty "natural wine". Decanted 2 hours—off substantial powdery sediment—as recommended in previous CT TNs. Tasted from Zalto red Burg glasses. This smells of barnyard sh*t and forest floor (and yes, I was out hunting cepes the day before yesterday, so I know). Tastes like a "natural wine" made from 50% attentuated Grenache juice from Priorat (Mas Doix?) and some bad-tempered old-vine Beaujolais Cru Gamay. Dark fruit, fizzy acidity, iron. Short, inexpressive finish. So far, so 87-88P. Reality check: I paid 55 EUR for this back in the day, and the current resale price is north of 300 EUR. Both of these figures are ridiculous; the second figure is simply obscene. If the mistake is mine (bien sûr, the customer is always wrong...) then this just needs another 20 years.I have another Dujac Combottes (2006) waiting down there, and plan either to sell it, or to use it in some strategic power-dinner context (which is, I suppose, what wine in this price category is really intended for—and there was naive me, thinking that it actually mattered what the stuff TASTED like). Another nail in the coffin of my red Burgundy dreams, and, more positively, absolutely the last time I bought anything from Dujac. Hooray! 88P
