  On a disappointing night of wines, this was a relative highlight. Still too one note (very cherry) and primary (despite a 2 hour decant), but there’s really nice stuffing here and a long finish without overly intrusive oak. Will this be great? Eh, not sure, but it’ll improve for sure.

  Slow ox for one hour. This is stunning. The nose is subtle and gorgeous. Strawberry, raspberry, flowers, a little truffle. The wine is youthful, displays a lot of inner power, but is so elegant and light on its feet at that same time. This is delicious today but will continue to evolve and build complexity over the next 10 years.

  The Jacques Prieur oak was fully integrated. Nose showed black fruit, cinnamon and ginger flower. Palate was expressive unlike most 99. But it was overshadowed by the 95 and 98 claude dugat charmes in the same flight.

  open 2 hrs for 1st sip.
  Nose: very subtle earth, meaty , gamy and dried flower. Very fragrant after 2 hrs of drinking.
  Palate: restrained at first, but tannin well intergrated, gamy/meaty fruit came after, elegant expression of Chambertin.
  Layers not very complex, but a good show for and aged Chambertin, can age 3yrs more to fully expresion of the tasting profile.

  This one was lovely after 90 mins in a decanter. The wine was tight with oak, flowers and red fruit on the nose. After pouring into the decanter, the wine opened beautifully with ginger flower, citrus, red fruit, and prunes. The palate is very balanced with layers. This is not a blockbuster 99 but it reminds me of the 96 JP chambertin. Give it 4-5 years when the bouquet fully develops. 1-1.5 point upside when its fully mature.
