Much appreciation to the domaine for this treat of a library release. Topped up to a perfect fill and recorked for its 50th birthday in 2016. Very pale bricked color but still in solid shape. Nice aromas for all of you "forest floor" fans, evoking moss and petrichor. Past its fruit but still holding onto its bottle sweetness and built around classic Nuits iron.

Complex aromatics of truffle, pine needle sap, earth, iron and leather. The palate is full, deep, sweet and vinous. There's a core of dark fruits and all sorts of savoury nuance. It has excellent intensity and good chew. The finish is fresh and long. Drinking right at the top of its game.

I opened this to celebrate my sister's 50th birthday. This was a recent purchase. Tasted aged for sure, but this was likely well stored prior to my acquisition. No notes taken, but we all enjoyed this immensely. Lovely nose and silky smooth on the palate. Drink up if you have any remaining.
