Tasting of 71, 78, 90. All bottle breathe from 3:30pm and 90" was served at 8:30pm. Nose is similar to 78 (perfume) but not as expressive. The palate has hints of branches, wood and integrated tannin. Still some fruit left. More gentle among the three bottles and medium finishing.

WOTN amongst some stiff competitions, including lovely 1999s from Cathiard and Girardin. Rich, robust flavors where the red fruit notes were accentuated by a glycerined layer of bacon fat. Very impressive showing for this beauty, outperforming all expectations.

Bouteille et bouchon en parfaite condition. Couleur prune claire avec des nuances brique. Léger nez de mercaptan, alors j'ai décidé de le passer en carafe. Après une 1/2 heure, le nez était net, sur les roses fanées, effluves de mûres, sur le sang. L'attaque en bouche est vive, la trame acide reste présente, malgré une touche de caramel en fin de bouche. A mon sens, il faut le boire.

Burgundy tasting with Mike. Lovely rich bacon nose and dark cherry fruit, more of the same on the palate with lots of old cooked bacon hints, sweet fruit on the palate, lovely mouthfeel, terrific tasting, long finish and aftertaste. Our favorite.

A slightly heat affected bottle housed a wine that was sweet and sour with some dusty tannins and a herbal element. I’d like to have a shot at this mid-weight Corton from a sound bott as I think it would be quite smart.
