  A curious bottle. Musty in the nose, and the mustiness never cleared up. But the mouth was fine, light and pure, still with good energy to the red fruits. Had the nose lived up to the mouth, I'd estimate 94, but as it was . . . . Cellared since original release.

  not sure if it's the condition problem of this bottle, it's somehow mute. drinking with 02 cdlr, 02 is so much better. The aroma is rusty and peppery. High acidity.

  The oldest wine tonight in a MSD tasting. Came across with a closed nose but well integrated tannins and structure for a good drink. Again no fireworks for me.

  A private lunch with friends (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Airy, perfectly fresh, perfectly classical, très Rousseau, bright cherries, wonderful balance and intensity, cool and intense, unshowy, nothing out of place.

  Christmas Eve Dinner (Restaurant De Lage Vuursche, Lage Vuursche, NL): Attractive nose, mature and fresh, spiced strawberries and undergrowth, cool minerality, complex and true to type, delicately smoky; fresh palate with clean and pure flavours, medium body (light for Clos de la Roche), lovely balance, hint of austerity in the tannins; white tea on the playful finish, very good length.
