Delicate, lighter style served blind Mark guessed Chambolle, then John California and then Oregon. Cherries and raspberries, light, floral, showing very well for a 25 year old base bottling. B++

Light color, wine is moreelegant than powerful. Really sweet cherry fruit (no RS, just a sweetfruit profile) with a little pomegranite edge. Some earth and a touchof poop, gives way to spicy notes. Thoroughly enjoyable, I'm shocked how fresh this is. Held well for quite a while, though after 4 hoursthe ultimate glass was a bit murky (I didn't decant) and less pleasingthan others as it began to fall apart. I might have to try other bottle matched in a blind flight with a Savigny or Volnay. My A- might be giving it an extra boost for exceeding expectations, but in any case I enjoyed.

Cherries on the nose and in the mouth with floral notes. Just a hint of raisin at the end.

Excellent. Still lots of fruit and a very long finish.
