Yes, Burgundy Thursday it was. 1995 Ponsot Chapelle-Chambertin was about as good as you could ask for. Nicely resolved yet still decent acidity, lotsa dark cherry & pomegranate with cinnamon & spice plus just a hint of dried leaves and mushroom. A few years ago I surmised that it was in a great spot and would be enjoyable over the next few years, and this bottle was showing signs of the beginning of being just past peak, so I'm glad this is our last one.
