  December 25, 2013 - I was lucky enough to get this gifted to me by a friend who inherited a cellar. This was stored in a passive cellar in San Francisco. The ullage was a good 2.5cm.
  Light copper red in color. The color was just the faintest clear at the edge.
  On the nose, strong caramel and not much else.
  Carmel, very light tart fruit and fennel notes. The acid gave the wine a lift.
  We had this along side a 1971 J. Drouhin Chambolle-Musigny. The '71 was showing more life and was more enjoyable. Both wines are on the downhill side but showed well for 40+ years.

  October 17, 2011 - Light red-copperish, mature, a bit oxidized color, that evolved during the evening and got darker as we finished the bottle. A mature nose, discreet at the beginning, with gentle aromas of orange peel confit, figs, a very light shade of wild strawberry jam, musk and a light touch of earth. Overall a sweet nose. Light to medium bodied initially, it gained more in body as we drank it. With sustained acidity and already mature, it has light flavors of orange peel, with almost no remaining fruit, being more earthy and gamey. The finish is medium with a sour aftertaste and fresh. There is still structure maintained by the lively acidity, but the tannins are completely dissolved. It is on the downhill already, but it still offers drinking pleasure. It opened more after 5 h and gained more gamey aromas: the animal fur mixed with the orange confit were really nice. (87-88/100)
