This bottle was still a pretty middle-aged Burg with a beautiful nose, but the palate was much more tannic, and dryer, than my last bottle. Deep cherries still lurk, and this shows some tertiary development, but this bottle just wasn't ready.

Served alongside 91 DRC Echezeaux and 91 JP Mugeret Echezeaux. Darkest color of the three. Floral, earthy nose.. Jon picked up some VA…If so, it didn't bother me. Pretty good balance with some fruit still present with balancing acidity. Big structure…biggest of the three. Finish nice with dusty tannins still present.

In a really beautiful place right now. Could still use a little time -- and there are still some dry tannin notes -- but the fruit is pure and sweet, the nose is a knockout, and this is quite deep (without being heavy).
