Corkage at One if Land, Two if by Sea in NYC. Wonderful Thanksgiving wine. Right in drinking window. Beautiful nose of black and red fruit, mineral, mushroom and spice. Increased spice (cinnamon and cloves) and must on palate. Long finish. This wine has years to go. No bricking whatsoever, and still so lively. Decant for at least an hour. UU3

Wines of the Gods (House of AC and JC): Component of DRC Echezeaux and Grands Echezeaux vertical. Dark ruby with rim bricking and ripe Morello cherry Madeira nose. Palate with earthy saddle leather inflicted dried red fruits and a sous bois painted with barn boards finish. Much older than any of the DRC counterparts in this tasting and should be enjoyed in the near term. Best now-2030.

Pale ruby, and surprisingly bright. Light, elegant, with soft silky tannins, with aromas and flavours of florals, red cherry, moss, slight barnyard, a hint of almond. The florals and fruits persist at the back, and having a fairly long finish. Surprising to still experience such freshness and exuberance when it is approaching 20 years. Great wine!

Drinking really well, but probably toward the second half of its drinking plateau. Opened about 3 hours before drinking. One of the two bottles opened had a bit of funk to it, but the funk disappeared after a short decant of about half an hour or so.
I disagree with the prior review which compared the wine to a 25 year old model whose second hobby was 19th C Russian literature and whose first hobby was sexual adventures around the world. To me, the wine is a bit like a lover of many years to whom one returns periodically when the mood is right.

Net op tijd gedronken op de vooravond van mijn verjaardag. Vertoonde nogal wat droesem en slierten in het laatste glas. Rijp weeïg bouquet, mooi rood fruit, droogbloemen, grenen hout, beetje hars. In de mond, mooie structuur met prima zacht rood fruit, bramen en kersen, maar later ook bessen; zachte tannines en zuren. Mooi evenwicht. Rokerig, prachtige karamel tonen. Afdronk met beetje kruidige tonen, kaneel en witte peper
