  Just wonderful. Popped and poured. Fully integrated and balanced. Grapefruit and plenty of citrus. Subtle mineral notes with a great backbone. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

  Hallelujah! Colin-Deleger unaffected by oxidation. This was a really good bottle. Youthful, light yellow color. Nice lime flavors on the palate with Chassagne weight. Good cut and a long finish.
  My discrete CellarTracker scale: 95-extraordinary; 90-very good; 85-good; 80-fair; 75-poor

  Mid yellow; cork with tell-tale peroxde signs, but wine uneffected. Mineral, limey fruit. Lovely mineral complexity and length. No sign of the pox. Classic Chassagne - plenty of life left in it for those brave enough to risk it. Lovely now though.

  Pale, greenish-yellow. Fresh, mineraly nose. Initially too cold and quite tight and unyielding. Opens up over a couple of hours to a wonderfully elegant, pure, intensely mineraly wine with understated, slightly zesty fruit. Long finish. Very good indeed - by far the best of the Colin-Deleger 2000s I've had. If it wasn't for the fear of them being oxidised, this would benefit from another three or four years in bottle - certainly could hae done with a couple of hours in the decanter. Very enjoyable indeed.

  Drunk instead of an oxidised 99. Pale yellow colour; fresh, slightly buttery nose. Good minerality and acdity with a slightly sweet, quite rich and persistent positive finish. Good.
