Cork withstood time and pulled well, light magenta stain. Bricking of wine in my opinion, and looked thin in color. Only a little bit of fruit remained but it emerged more after an hour or so in the glass. Although fruit seemed past its prime the structure of the wine was really nice, well developed as you would expect in an aged burgundy. Smooth but not dull. Initially had impression this tasted a bit like cab franc. Good example of an aged wine with more hints of soil and other flavors. Drink now.

Une autre belle bouteille de ce Beaune fougueux mais assagi, avec encore cette belle complexité aromatique, sur les épices et les fruits sucrés, des notes de dates pour compléter. Profond et très satisfaisant.

Souper chez Stéphanie et Jean-Charles: Nez très ouvert épicé et fruit rouge. Bouche fougueuse et savoureuse tout de même raffinée. Toujours impressionnant, quoique un peu éclipsé par ceux qui allaient suivre. 91-92 pts

Elegant and bright. Smooth with medium finish. Drinking very well and can last another 2-4 years.
