  Epitome / reference Rouget / Jayer. Pure sweet red cherry and gorgeous spice. In a flight with ‘90 Cros Parantoux and ‘90 Echezeaux. All three were insanely perfect bottles. The purity here is unbelievable. Sweet, candied red cherry, tingling spice. Beaumonts maybe has more of the spice, Cros P is the freshest and brightest red, Echezeaux sort of splits the difference and has more texture. Big projection off the nose that is as good as wine gets. Open, forward, accessible, but still detailed and cerebral, especially the Parantoux. Ethereal but bright and powerful. Among the best showing flights of red Burgundy I’ve ever experienced. Breathtakingly beautiful.

  Cerebral. Ethereal. 1990 warmness, but such bright red cherry. “This is a fucking spice trade in a glass” said my friend. Cinnamon and five spice. Damp earth. Gloriously perfumed with a wafting bouquet. Incredibly intricate and detailed. Smells very stemmy even though it shouldn’t. Ethereal and soulful with wonderful damp earth in the background. A fresh mushroom characteristic that sounds tertiary but isn’t and doesn’t detract at all from the overarching freshness and bright red cherry. Hallmark Jayer purity. Absolutely superb. 98-98.

  Exceptionally concentrated. Dark ripe fruit sour cherries. Big brooding wine.

  Clear crimson in the glass. An elegant but strong nose of bright red cherries and minty / menthol perfume. Perfectly balanced palate of mature dark cherry fruit and ripe strawberry. A mature and leathery sort of cranberry with damp earth, underbrush, and truffle intermittent throughout. Cranberry notes seem tart compared to the '93 enjoyed alongside, but not offputtingly so. A very special bottle that many at dinner chose as their wine of the night amongst an all-star line up.
