  Medium garnet with light rim. Initial nose barnyard got blown off after an hour. Aroma of chinese pu'er tea, ripe cherry (v similar to 2004 Jadot Chapelle Chambertin tried many times) and hint of floral if one sniff hard. On palate, there is spice from oak and forest floor dried leaves. Tannin fully resolved, the wine is delicate, likely past its prime, but still enjoyable as it is rare to find aged burg with an affordable price.

  I believe in old Burgundy wine especially from great vintages. It's always sweet and mild-blowing. This wine is like that, starts with the classic nose of Burgundy, sweetness and fine texture, soft aftertaste and linger finished. Feelin' so good.
  
  Time passed by...scent of terroir appears bit by bit...more texture and body...elegant finished...
  
  In my imagination, I can feel the sun in the afternoon and the cold wind at night. The smell of turning leafs, the earth on the vineyard.
  
  This is not a big wine but truly great at this moment. Such a good feeling drinking it when it is 25 years-old.
  
  Drink now - 2015..................glad to see a few bottles left in my cellar........................
