Red cherry, kola, leather, musk, black olive, iodine. Crunchy, tart red fruit. Quite lean upon opening but manages to gain weight after an hour. Tart, racy finish with good persistence. Quite a testament to its longevity, but likely more enjoyable several years ago.

Uncorked 1 hour prior to serving into Burgundy red wine glass (“No” day): Pale ruby with bricking rims, no visible deposits.
Hard not to describe this as top notch Burgundy nose with pristine red berry and cherry fruits, florals, some meaty and sous bois notes.
On palate this is still quite tight in a good way upfront and opened up nicely during the course of dinner. Clean and persistent finish. Served blind and cannot believe this was a Passetoutgrains... let alone 1999...
93-94 points. Very impressive wine!

1 cm in pristine condition and appears to be domain released. Wine opened for 15 minutes and consumed in 2+hrs. Fresh, bright and clean, with earthy red berry fruit aromas that merge into sweet and relatively elegant structure. Tasty especially at the end. If in good condition, it's likely last another 2-3 yrs or more. It's a fun Bourgogne to try.

Unable to believe all the grains were passed. Aroma of grand cru and taste as well. Also mold on top of cork but excellent condition. 20201119 Not as good as last experience. Fruity aroma and lack of floral one. 90 20210226 This bottle regains its level. Likely the stored condition is essential for its quality. 92

Fairly restrained nose but fully resolved palate. Nice red fruit, some earth and spice. Thinish, simple and good to drink. 91-92

Some Jayer brewed fruit aromatics, intricate nose, while palate is light and not very concentrated. Well above its appellation but past its prime. 93

Possibly heat damaged? Mold under the capsule with a small streak up the cork. Not undrinkable, but no excitement either.
