The '80 Ponsot is a characterful wine, balancing elegant red cherry notes and mellow, savory game. Soft and broad. Resonant in the mouth though, unlike the 85 beside, this faded slightly in the glass whereas the 85 continued to expand.

Half bottle. Supposed to be legendary, but madeira (with some citrus/candied fruit notes). Hopefully will drink from full bottle of good provenance soon...

Poised and balanced in its graceful decline. Soil elements beginning to overtake the fruit. Beautiful mature Burgundy.. Time to drink. 94-95

Supple with an appealing mix of spices and soft red fruit. Good bottle. Time to drink though.
