With Lynne, Bill & family in Cornwall. With SpagBol. Limited opportunity to decant, so could not really do the wine justice. Still very nice, but a little unbalanced with a slightly edgy acidity.

I've been drinking a lot of young Burgs recently, and this bottle was a reminder of the magic that a good vintage plus bottle age can deliver. This particular bottle was perhaps fading a little (I'm comparing it to the 2001 vintage) but such wonderful and gentle Autumn leaves & spice aromas drag your attention into the glass for another sip & swirl. The polar opposite of brash, modern, in-your-face wines.

i don't get the northern rhone comparisons, but this was a really nice wine and drinking very well right now. very elegant with good acidity, and very little tannins. nose was a bit subdued but a very decent value at $150 on a wine list in NYC.

Another great bottle, drinking very well now. Not sure if its got tons of life yet, but no need to rush to drink.
