BWC 23 - Lignier Clos de la Roche: Served next to a compromised 98, decanted for an hour-plus before drinking. The nose is so very pretty, with delicate and dark and floral-inflected fruit, highly perfumed. Very pretty on the palate too, well balanced and composed, and a seamless silky texture, all class. Without the aromatic breadth of the 01 or the 02, and without the density of flavor, the impact on the palate also. But the wine actually continued to improve over a few hours open, and it is a very, very good wine. It's that the others were better, and by some margin.

Good 2000s are just drinking so in the zone, and this too is no exception. The best CdR today based on what we had together with the 1995. The 2000 was open nit, showed lovely earth and spice, really giving - true hedinistic delight and totally ready but will hold.

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Deep, rich, dense, dark fruit, some plum here, really top, the most dense wine in this flight, darker pitched. All the CdRs showed really well in this tasting, much better than the CSDs. Today with Global warming, CSD has come to its own.

(Hubert Lignier Clos de La Roche) This offered the finesse only the greatest Burgundies show. An unbelievable nose. Spice, cotton candy, mocha, black cherries, blueberries. Very fat and utterely seamless on the palate. Incredible harmony. Intense but oh so elegant. A masterpiece.

Light body. 3 hour decant. Acidity is too high, tannic into the finish. Tart cranberry notes.

Softer and redder fruit since I had this last. I wanted a little more energy on the finish but developing nicely overall.
