Medium ruby color. Pungent nose that has meaty Pinot fruit and a good dose of underbrush. Stems / medicinal. Palate shows more of the rich, meaty fruit side. Serious. Would be perfect with wild mushrooms. A perfect time to drink this wine though it should last well for another 5+ years. Can sense old vines in this one. (89)

This was not stored as well as the remaining bottles, but was open and showing nice mature fruit with the expected game and earth. Nothing too complex but nice wine overall - drink now. B+

Decanted 30 minutes. Good fruit and conentration, with red fruits and earth showing along with some structure showing throughout. Enjoyable, but overshadowed by other wines tonight. Interesting to note that the next day this had improved, so may be upside here. B/B+

Similar to my last note this is mature, dark fruit rounded with some game. Pleasant wine. B+

Similar to previous bottles, with some air this is starting to express itself. Dark fruit, with some Gevrey power and game. Enjoyable. B+/A-
