  Perhaps slightly less opulent than last January's bottle but showing more tangy backbone. It was an excellent pairing for a stew of wild boar in a mushroom, red currant and kriek beer sauce. Very good.

  Dark & Shut down, rather simple and uninspiring, no apparent flaws but just a meh bottle. Did not improve on day 2 only got worse. A true disappointment considering how great the 98 Chaupin was tonight as well as all the other bottles so my score is probably a bit harsh. Got a bit more open after 3 days but still rather simple for a VV

  Way past its prime. Needs an hour of decant.

  Opened up after 15 mins in glass. Well balanced with a lot of life left in it. Awesome wine

  Pop and pour. This is singing with nose of barbecued fruit and game, viscous peppery roasted meat and cherry on the palate, medium finish. My last bottle and what a shame.
