October 31, 2020 - Purchased upon release. Stored ar 47 degrees since, pretty much unmoved. Cork came out whole with no sign of deterioration except at the very top. In the elegant style. Beautiful red fruit aromatics with matching red fruit elegance on the palate. Quite rich and plenty long. Reminds me of a Drouhin Laroze. All said, the wine is showing its age, not browning at edge but certainly headed there., 1985 remains my all time favorite red burgundy vintage, and so it shows so well here.
Note that this is not the Daniel Rion estate, although in the following few years he may have inherited this vineyard. The Rion Pere label locates the producer in Vosne Romanee, and it existed at least through the 1988 vintage. The Daniel Rion label locates the estate in Nuits St George.,
