Brownish purple color, the only sign this wine has aged at all; fairly four-square though reticent nose; surly rough palate of secondary fruit notes, unresolved tannins and firm acidity. While this is regularly a long-lived wine, there was none of the balance, layering nor elegance I expect from a 21 year old burgundy. So to assuage my disappointment, the “Mad Blender” mixed this wine with some ‘02 Camus Mazoyeres and, voila, the resulting blend was WAY better than either wine on its own. No doubt the “high-pucker-factor” purists are clutching their pearls at such a travesty! But there you have it,….

Jadotfest 23 - Table Domaine Gagey (Noizé): Brought as a backup to the disastrous 86. Lovely stuff - black fruits on the nose, tight, more red fruits on the palate. This is only just getting into the zone - the 97 is giving more pleasure at this stage, but I think this will continue to develop and will ultimately peak higher. Proper Cote de Beaune red.

2002 Beaune and Volnay Premier Crus (San Francisco): Ruby with slight browning. Perfumed with a fennel note, dark red and black fruit. Medium weight, some sap, dry finish with more soil than tannin. Not great length but complex and lively. This too could use a few more years to soften.

2023 Jadotfest (Noizé, London): Mid to full garnet. Vibrant. Densely silky. A touch of structure still. Attractive with poise and presence. ****
