  Another beautiful 97 Jadot. Cork had some crazy mold on it and was a little soft, but wine is great underneath. A little rustic around the edges with great structure and still some chewy tannins that can be absorbed with time. Fruit is still holding strong but would drink in the next 5-7 for most likely prime window. Does seem to have the structure to last longer but why wait.

  97 Jadots seem to be in a good spot. Ya I know it is a 97, but Jadot seemed to over achieve in this vintage. Fun wine and drinking great. 92-93

  Another great Jadot value. Opened an hour before dinner and it felt tight, so I put it in the decanter. Really singing at dinner. Medium to full bodied, with super acidity and very fine tannins. Silky in the mouth with sweet cherry fruit and slight smoky / crushed rock notes. Long and satisfying. Leftovers after dinner seemed more tannic and closed. Definitely no hurry on this one. Very tasty!

  Big earthy wine with fairly deep red fruit. Not the most elegant burgundy, but interesting, powerful and balanced.
