Same bottle from the last batch but much cleaner. Coffee beans, flowers, perfume, red currant and spice all over the nose. Palate was sweet and precise with very good length. This is punching way above its vintage, and in my opinion, triumphing the 91 Leroy CDLR and 89 Ponsot CDLR. Glorious.

Brick color indicative of nearly 20 years of aging. There was initial bottle funk when first opened, but this blew off after standing open for a few hours. Palate reveals old world terroir, spice, currant, oak. There is still some raspberry, strawberry fruit, though it's starting to fade, leaving behind a mdoerate yet appealing complexity. Medium finish.

Medium pale color. True to Dujac, incredibly aromatic right out of the bottle, announcing that this is unmistakably Burgundy. Faded red fruit, black pepper (that is actually quite Rhone-like), creosote, and green stemmy notes make for a very complex, alluring mix. Light to medium body, elegant, assertive acidity, surprisingly authoritative flavors, decent finish. Very fine, lively '92, although with time, it tilts toward the vegetal elements which are less appealing to me.

Funk, spice, oak and cinnamon on the nose, but it was not very clean. Palate was deeper than the 92 Echezeaux on the side.

I like his Charme Chambertin better.
