A slightly tired bottle but showing lots of dark fruit, richness and depth. Surprised at how much dark fruit is in here. Hudelot has some of the better parcels in the CV. For a 97 this is showing well.

Better tonight - more vibrancy and clarity. Slightest funk but blew off. Ive had good luck with 97s recently and think they are drinking at peak now. This bottle will not improve but its good today. Nice red fruits, some spices, good richness and texture. I paid $65 for these bottles - a pittance in today's prices......

Solid effort from a so-so vintage. Color fading a little with some rim variation. Red fruits and cherries with some good minerality. Dusty tannins with a minor musty nose but clean on the palate. Some good earth notes and a hint of shrooms. Overall very nice given the vintage esp 20 years in. Drink up - no upside.

Certainly not a great year but the juice is decent. Dusty and earthy tannins. Some funk. However, this got better as the night went on. All the earth tones gave way to some nice cherries, red candy and hints of spices. I am sure at some point these were better than they are today yet these are still pretty good 20 years in from a sub par vintage.
