Mature Cote de Beaune: 1959 to 1990 (Langham Place Hotel, Mongkok, Hong Kong): Half-glass drank blind at a pre-dinner tasting. Very young-looking transparent lamb's blood colour. This has a really super nose of of sous bois in the foreground followed by rich ripe wild strawberries......lovely! Palate is a bit of a disappointment in contrast to the promise of the nose....high, tart young (yes, young) acidity and unresolved alcohol. Heady. Excellent but much too young.....I had this as the 1989 Faively Corton......humbling when revealed......I couldn't believe it. My 6/12, Group's #10.
