Beautiful matured burgundy. Still fresh for a 41 year old. Lovely delicate but subtle nose of flowers and sois bois. Well resolved tannins. I doubt this will improve from here but certainly should be drunk in the next few years. Looking forward to my final bottle.

So this was a nice bottle, a little on the downside for me, but everyone loved it for its lightness. I think it won the red of the evening, against a brutal 96 chapelle, we had it with fillet and mushroom sauce, and for a very short time it transported me back 40 years. Forest floor and cherry in a elegant way, persistency and harmonious not dominant. Fun to try, the colour was fading copper so you knew it was on its last legs.

Very unique brown red color with a lovely nose of dried red fruits and forest floor. Subtle on the palate with a surprising and beautiful sweetness followed by mushrooms and mineral. Absolutely singing today but most certainly at peak.

An exceptional bottle with some air had a nose of strawberry kirsch. Just a delight right now with silky and elegant textures. Drinking sublime.

No formal note; a very beautiful 37 yr old Georges Noellat red that illustrated how beautiful an old Burgundy red could be; overall, 94-95 points.
