Purchased on release for under 100 CDN. Started with 9 in the cellar, opened 4 of my own bottles, tasted this wine 13 times..... and have followed this for 27 years. The 1993 started to open somewhat, depending on your storage temperature, around about 2017. This a birthday wine with Canada Prime Strip steaks and Superbe Bernaise faite Maison. Currently very dark ruby with minimal bricking and a wild intensity of alpine berries with a swish of sois bois on the nose. Spicy raspberries with sensational grip on the palate - finishes long , taut and savage. Still a young beast and very 1993. Best 2028-2050.
Holiday Burgundy Lunch: Reticent at first, then after about 20 minutes in the glass the sweet majesty unfolded. A complex spicebox with pure fruit and terrific delineation. A top class reference standard Burgundy. Served blind.

Darker and more black-fruited than I was expecting. Silky, intriguing, subtle. A lovely wine, but expectations didn't help its appreciation tonight.
