Brilliant red garnet, outstanding nose and aromas. I always struggle with the French, but this bottle was a wonderful surprise. Excellent mixture of body, flavors and mouthfeel. Supple tannins and good depth of earth and minerals.

The wine list of the "Dynasty" (Chinese Restaurant in the Hilton of Osaka) didn't really offer anything better that wouldn't have been rediculously overpriced - so we had to go with this at EUR 115,-(!!). Some chocolate on the nose - but that was about the only really pleasurable thing to note. Palate seemed somewhat harsh with a slightly bitter note. This again confirmed my opinion that the average in 2003 in Burgundy is not worth purchasing in great numbers.

Rather thin and uninteresting. Seems years past prime. Was expecting more.

This is a decent, but simple wine. Not much nose, nor a complex flavor, but not bad. Good for a tuesday night.
