  Drunk at Petrus Restaurant at the Island Shangri La Hotel Hong Kong - a most beautiful and elegant example of how great Burgundy can be. A sparkling brightness in the glass that almost always foreshadows a wine in immaculate condition. The colour had a ruby translucence that mature pinot noir can exhibit but with almost no bricking. Typical Dujac stems on the nose but completely integrated on the palate and with absolutely no overbearing greenness. Mature Dujac doesn't get better than this.

  World's Greatest - Night II (Daniel): Fresh, stalky, bright red cherry. Highly expressive and very pretty. Sweeter red cherry fruit on the front palate that expands into a developed mouthful. Spent coffee grounds. The Dujacs tonight are certainly the most consistent across vineyards, and are all gorgeously perfumed and finessed.

  Elegant nose. More depth and presence on the palate than the CSD. 97-98

  POB gala dinner: very generous from the pob owner Muti. The cork was broken into pieces upon opening. The nose is secondary with sous bois, plums and blood. Palate is over the peak with mostly secondary elements. The wine is not as fresh as I want it to be

  Jeremy Seysses opined that the 1978 Dujac Clos de la Roche is probably just beginning to pass its apogee, but it clearly attained considerable heights, because it remains a very formidable bottle of red Burgundy. A fully mature and expressive nose includes notes of autumn leaves, roast squab, subtle leather bitter chocolate, dried fruit and black tea—a melange of kaleidoscopic complexity. On the palate the wine is full, ripe and intense, with a bright core of acidity and a long, gamey finish. While this is now decidedly tertiary, Jeremy mentioned that until very recently it had retained vivid dark fruit, which must have made for a pretty extraordinary wine!
