Chez JPL: Animal notes at the beginning, thought on a Cab franc from Chinon, sweet notes, in contact with air the Pinot noir notes appeared and it got pretty good.

This bottle showed why lesser vintages can give so much pleasure. Opened and splashed in a decanter and drunk over two hours. Tightly wound at first but slowly unfurled to reveal earthy meaty truffle scents . Quite rich on palate with power and reflected the nose with more game and a hint of decay. A gorgeous wine.

Very impressive especially for a 94. It had lovely fruit purity. Pure class and elegance.

From magnum. Pure and clean, finished tart. Held its own vs 96 DRC Richebourg.

BM dinner. Good condition. Light ruby, but ripe with nice acidity.
