- Garnet color and aromas of moldy and mushroom. It's balanced and has flavours of walnut and prune with a medium body. Satin-Like texture with a medium finish - Nutty and earthen with a good hit of cellar. Showing its 20+ years of age but still quite interesting. Drink Ono

Top Burgs and Bubblies (Dino Restaurant, Washington DC): We started with a pair of 93s from Kevin Shin. The Bouchard Pere & Fils Beaune Clos de la Mousse 1993 gave off a slight whiff of Burgundian earth, with touches of the chaussette mouillée, but I dug it. It endeared me actually. The palate was smooth and supple, lacking the structure to make it serious, but what the heck: it was enjoyable Old World Pinot, and I could have easily nursed the bottle à but I was driving later, so not a good idea. Thank goodness for the crachoirs provided by the efficient staff at Dino. Yes, folks, we were spitting out.

OK, so not exactly an inspired match with the New Orleans meets Southwest cuisine. Good acidity (no surprise there with vintage!), cranberry and raspberry fruit, some earth/mushrooms, resolved tannins, pleasant enough Burg if not a star. B

Clearly tired, but nonetheless enjoyable, with gentle, sweet red fruit, lacking however in lift or depth.

A spicy glass of Beaune, good length, rich in the mouth, cherries. Drink now. -JBL
