  A simply stunning bottle of Burgundy drunk at its apogee. Some browning on the edges with a beautiful nose of crushed cherries and sweet barnyard earth. Mature flavors of tea, tobacco, mushrooms and earth on the entry which leads to an incredibly complex finish of crushed cherries and red spices. This really captures the vineyard with that alluring, almost medicinal, cherry spice fruit and each sip had me in different states of rapture with the mind-boggling complexity with additional notes of minerals and tea leaves. One of the greatest Burgundies I've ever drunk and while completely different than the incredible bottle of '78 La Tache tasted alongside, to be honest I'd rather drink this wine tonight. At Latour Restaurant, Crystal Springs Resort.

  Blackberry, sweet spice, clove, forest floor, wet bark, light cola, allspice, and faint red fruits on the nose. Dark black raspberry, coal dust, damp dark earth, with a cherry finish combined with a sweet spice backpalate. Light soil front palette with silky smooth tannins. A lot going on in this wine. A spectacular showing, what a great bottle. Continued to evolve with time in the glass. After one hour the back on the nose started to show fennel, mint and menthol characteristics. Very well paired with pastured egg, mangalitsa, and black truffle.

  The Thirteenth Annual Stonefields Dinner (Guelph, Ontario, Canada): Wow...this was mind boggling on the nose. Aromas of dried flowers, spice, forrest floor, plum, tart red fruit, earth, mushroom and minerals.
  Palate is so smooth, harmonious and integrated...there are no edges to this wine...pure tart fruit, earth, soy, cedar, sandalwood, cedar, dried red flowers and minerals.
  The finish is long, complex and layered....wow.

  Bottle #240 out of 874. Cloudy brick red in color. Aromas of alcohol, cured meats and a touch of decay. Flavors of lively red fruits - balanced - with a medium plus finish.
