  Nearly 30 years old, and this wine is still absolutely stunning. Color has faded a touch, but it’s still a beautiful purple. Came alive with black fruit and rich earth on the palate, with just the right amount of hay on the nose to signal its age. Was most impressed by the power and tannins it’s still showing. Noticeable almost immediately, and with less fading in the glass than I was expecting. I see no reason this wine won’t make it to 30, and is absolutely worth opening now.

  My reaction to this is like my reaction to my first Vosne-Romanee. I wonder if it's varietally correct. There's so much power here it's hard to imagine it shares a pedigree with say Volnay. Drinking this I think of the cracks Peter Cargassachi makes about people saying he puts syrah in his pinot noir. There's an argument that Burgundy is using the old Bordeaux trick of using Hermitage to add backbone to the wine. This wine is still in pretty good shape with several years to go. Good on the attack and mid palate and a long finish. Floral nose. Violets? Nah, I'm thinking too much about syrah. Darker red fruits and spice on the palate. Balanced. This is the kind of stuff that makes you chase good Burgundy. A Kobrand import.

  Crystal clarity and a perfect cork. Such a perfect cork that after 14 years I began to wonder of its autenticity, though it was correctly stamped. The aromas were youthful and pronounced. The flavor was nothing less than bold. The infusion of fruit, acidity, depth, and vitality left this tasting like a 3 year old, again leaving me to wonder. It tasted much more like a recent Oregonian than a mature Cote d'Or.
