While showing its age, the nose still delivers sweet red fruit with some nice leather notes with green stem and truffles. With more air, some menthol notes start appearing. Damp earth. The palate is still balanced and fresh, austere. Very long finish. "Un vin droit". This will not improve any further but a great this is a really nice Clos des Chenes.

Delicious, drinking well now. Quite evolved colour, slightly gamey nose but plenty of fruit, silky texture, red fruit and herbs on the palate, good wine.

Medium plus blood/ruby, with a fairly narrow paler rim showing a touch of brick. Quite firm nose of dark cherries, with touches of game and spice and even a hint of chocolate. The mouth entry is surprisingly clean, pure, and quite light. It builds on the palate to a round smooth wine with touches of fruitcake, licorice and tar, and firm tannins on the finish. Tasty, mature, and complete this is bigger and deeper-toned than the '94 Volnays from d'Angerville. ***
