  Took a bit of air for the palate to match the nose, which was fabulous from opening. Medium body and full of earthy dark cherry fruit.medium long finish, real burgundy

  From a magnum, very savoury, barnyard, at the start, kept evolving over the night with the last hour the best - great nose, strawberries, red fruits, lovely mouth feel, really evolved over 3 hours, best to decant if you have magnum format

  Wines at the Bistro de l'Hotel Beaune: Colour good ruby. A complex bouquet of black spices, dirt, red cherry, red currant and rusty iron filings. With time in the glass, the nose moved more rusty. On palate flavours of red cherries, dry underbrush and savoury, earthy, rusty and (dried) herby nuances. Good acidity, structure and dry extract. An excellent accompaniment to my succulent filet de boef with truffles. Drinking beautifully now but not yet very secondary, so it has years to go, I would say.

  Dinner at William's (William & Gina's): This was very good indeed. I have had a few really solid de Montille bottlings from 1997, and this may well be the best of the lot. The nose still had a shade of woody oak notes on it, along with earth and meat, and then dark plums and black cherry aromas, with higher-toned flowers and a touch of herb rounding off the bouquet. A very complex, serious nose, and quite attractive too. It was the palate that really impressed me though. This felt really complete - it had really good depth for a 1997, with almost sappy dark cherry flavours, but it was also very fresh and lively, with lovely acidity and a lovely structure lent with a brush of fine, powdery tannins. It was vibrant and lively, and just impeccably put together - a real pleasure to drink. Nice finish too, with some of the earthy, dusty, slightly herby notes that one gets with a lot of these 1997 wines, but quite without any drying or bittersweet tones. A really nice wine, drinking beautifully at the moment.
