  Flawless condition. Fill less than 3cm. Medium colour with virtually no bricking. Sous-Bois, red fruits, mushroom and spice. Still full of energy and life, this bottle is fully mature and I'm lucky to have another in this same condition. I see no rush to drink. Old burgundy at its best.

  Light straw color. Unfortunately mildlly corked. We did the seran wrap treatment, which did remove the TCA scent, howerver, the wine remailned a bit hollow in the middle and lacked complexity. It did have a nice softness and balance. I'm sure a good bottle would be quite nice.

  Actually looks 40 years old. Light to medium in color with clear edges. Very deep and full of power in spite of the color. Earth, more dirt, dark cherries, and cloves. Great texture and depth without weight. Great meaty Gevrey punch while maintaining great purity and focus. Lovely. 93pts
