  March 30, 2023 - This wine required several hours after opening to express its full potential with a clear cherry red colour and a pure nose of dark cherries, redcurrants, wild strawberries, limestone with touches of blood orange and Asian spice. The palate has lovely weight and strength that persists beautifully with a constant line of sweet cherry fruit that really lifts the overall mouthfeel into the excellent category. The impression finiches with a nice stony, savoury and spice touch. Delicious at 27 years !

  February 13, 2021 - At Winston, Noosa. Another terrific bottle of this wine that opened with a pure nose that became more defined with extended breathing exhibiting dark cherries, redcurrant, wild strawberry, stony earth and touches of Asian spice. The palate has lovely weight and strength yet remains quite refined and persistent with that defining touch of deep cherry flavour staying with the fine tannins of the finish. 24 years on this wine continues to improve.

  June 13, 2019 - As expected with a 23 year old Burgundy there has been some bottle variation with this. Tonights bottle was a beautiful bottle of mature NSG with a clear cherry red colour with tawny edges. The nose was classic NSG with dark and red cherries, redcurrant, strawberry, stony earth and touches of spice. The palate has a mature fruitiness with a sneaky persistence of dark cherries leading into a fine tannin grip and stony earthiness. Drinking beautifully but needs a good aeration to show its best.
