  This has certainly acquired more graciousness and a more caressing texture than the bottle 3 years ago. It was now remarkably similar to the Laurent Suchots '96 which preceded it; perhaps a tad less depth and structure and a smidgen more fragrance. Very good.

  There doesn't seem to be much change from my impression three years ago. Medium bodied and elegant showing nice Pinot fruit with a savoury complexion, some depth, smooth texture, fresh acidity and a firm finish. I was hoping by now for a bit more graciousness of the sort I recall from the '97, but very good.

  The first "serious" '99, which I have opened. At first a little reticent at c.15°C but opening up with air and a little more warmth to reveal a wine marginally less rich and definitely less sweet than the preceding Beaucastel and with Burgundian grace, fresh acidity and fine but still perceptible tannins. Time should bring more complexity and velvety texture. Very good.
