This is surprisingly good - was a bit tight initially but after about 30 mins it got going - the candied, sweet 2005 fruit re-emerged - tannins dusty - envelopes the mouth with nice grip - just delicious and in a great spot after 13 years in the cellar...

Nose has settled down and has matured - lovely pinot w/ hints of mint and herbs. Nice structure and fruit well balance w/ acid - long, long finish - really in a nice place now. Can't ask for much more from this wine...

This wine is still a bit tight but just starting to drink well - would give it another year or so. Nose of red candied fruits, light raspberry, a bit of bubble gum - still a bit tight. medium body - acidity just a bit lacking (although there is enough alcohol to give a decent balance). Tasty but think it will be better in a few years.

A bit more advanced than it should be - I think its an off bottle.

Notes of nuts and lovely bouquet. I love the French way of life.
