90's Dujac Grand Cru and 2007 Ramonet: Rustic and lovely, kept well in the glass over hours. Maybe this even has another gear to be revealed in time. Served blind.

More masculine and dark fruit driven compared to the the 96 CSD. It possesses more weight and structure. Another fantastic showing of the 96 Dujac. 94-95

Saturday dinner ft. 1996 Dujac (Chicago, IL): From the same lot as a corked bottle a few months ago. This bottle, fortunately, was not. Decanted 2-3 hours before service. The nose is very up front and forward, showing plenty of classic Dujac spice and a sweet tone from the fruit that is just as compelling. The palate on this is more lithe and lifted than the CSD, and you get a lovely sense that this is mature and fully at peak. There's something about this vintage where you get a sensation of high acids (Jeremy Seysses had once remarked to me that the analytics didn't show higher acid, only to follow that up by saying that one tastes what one tastes) and this bottle leads you down that same path. The perfumed delicacy on the palate feels just plain luxurious, and it would be an absolute thrill to open a bottle of this any time, but tonight, I felt that this was eclipsed by its southern neighbour.

From magnum. Quite young, with an underlying rusticity. Clearly needs a lot more time in this format. 94+

Sad as underlying fruit was gorgeous.
