An evening with George (Bistro Cocotte, Haberfield): Medium minus intensity aromas show aa little meaty note - again quite closed - black cherry, sweet spice, leather. Juicy, savoury, dark hued cherry fruits, sweet spice, long, plenty of textured grip that travels long, not quite there for me.

Much better bottle than the last (same source) and really enjoyed this today. Red fruit is vibrant and bright off a fresh pour, and then quickly adds secondary nuance with more savoury and tomato flavour. Some green stems still. Slight earth and sauvage. Palate has dark red fruit. Very good, I'd say drink good bottles within five years.

Outstanding looking bottle but showing a flicker tired. Fruit is slightly muddled and stewed. Sous bois, dark spice, damp earth. Has some flashes of floral and perfumed red fruit. Will drink the other shortly.

A deep but not quite open bottle of this. I was hoping 20 years would be a nice spot. Either it is an off night (nothing showed particularly well) or I'm hitting this bottle in a tweener zone. There's plenty of depth of fruit and complexity it's just a bit awkward and muted. Probably better a few years ago or in a few years.

(Mugneret-Gibourg Echezeaux) Explosive nose of spice, grapefruit, sweet cherries, earth. Very flashy nose. Sweet and ripe on the palate with great depth and incredible finesse. Layers upon layers of concentrated red fruits. Will age a long time.

Relatively dark and unyielding, stylistically different to today's wines. Perhaps just needs more time.
