  Wanting to let this wine fully express itself, we allowed it to slow oxidise for three and a half hours during a dinner at Fulgurances in New York before we gave it a go. Following a 2002 Clos Vougeot from Domaine Michel Gros, we couldn't stop raving about how clean this wine was once it had hit its stride. The nose had a captivating florality note that was balanced out with tobacco and baking spices. The palate was extremely expressive as the upfront of lavender and blackberries created a leanness before the mid-palate introduced some signature Gevrey cedar wood and spices. The finish was long, clean and silky as tobacco and pepper came into the mix. This wine has so much life ahead of it, but is already drinking well now.

  Another good showing of the Combottes with violets, spice, stems and darkish red fruit. It should have been given a few hours of aeration before serving. It was not fully opened up tonight.

  Very pretty wine. Similar stem profile to the DRC VR tasted alongside it. Ripe with high-toned red fruits, but not overtly rich or flabby. I really like the balance of 17 wines - certainly more classical than 18 and 19.
  
  This wine is both distinctively Dujac and Gevrey. Showed particularly well on this occasion.

  Slow oxed for 5 hours before serving. It is so pure and ethereal with red fruit, purple fruit, flowers and spice. Compared to my previous bottle, this one shows the wine clearly benefits from a few hours of air to enjoy now.
