  February 2, 2019 - Sometimes we have a night with an extraordinary wine and this was last night. Cork was semi saturated but came out cleanly with an Ah-So. Light ruby and the nose started to open immediately. Decided against a decant and left it open for one hour. Translucent and drank very well right from the start. It was like a bowl of roses, extremely elegant and the finish seemed like it went on for 60 seconds. As fine a bottle of burgundy as I have ever had. Purchased three at release in 1998. Opened the first one two years ago at age 20 and it was disappointing, good drink but a bit off. Still have one left. This wine seems fully mature to me but definitely not over the hill. I would drink now.
