By Bill Nanson
(Castagnier Guy Clos de la Roche) I've bought this wine from 1996 to 1999 (inclusive) but then my overstocked merchant dropped the label - I think I'll have to pay a visit and keep my mini-vertical running... The wine is medium-plus garnet, little fading. The nose starts a little disjointed and heavy on the oak, given five minutes the oak has harmonised with a coffee topped plum and cherry pie effect - still quite understated - a cooked note spoils the overall effect a little. Direct from the cellar the fresh palate is not obviously fat, but becomes more so as the wine approaches room-temp. The tannins are of velvet and the acidity lingers into a gorgeous and complex finish - which comes as a surprise given the understated way the wine begins. If there's one criticism, the wine seems more advanced than most '98's and not just on the nose - but it's a lovely drop.

PopnPour, tasted over 4 hrs
-mild bricking
-pretty red fruits, Burg funk, slight tomato-y
-med+ acidity, med- weight with reasonably good mid-palate sap characterized by some cherry fruit residue a certain sweetness and earth, trace oak on shortish finish
-lacking depth for a Grand Cru but really quite pleasant, still some red-fruited freshness, this bottle suggests another 5+ years of pleasant drinking ahead of it

Good balance of fruit and tannin. Still fresh. Enjoyed with grilled tuna. Fairly priced at $65.

A good traditional Bourgogne. Well balanced and suprisingly young

Absolutely and totally poor wine. Nothing redeeming about it whatsoever. not flawed, not dead from age either - just poor.
