  25 years since last note on this wine!
  Yes. It was too young.
  Like many 96 red Burgundies, it's absolutely singing now.
  Beautiful red fruit nose, so vibrant: cherry, cranberries, perhaps a little rhubarb.
  Nice mineral notes to go along with this.
  On the palate, it's so lively with vibrant acidity, very modest alcohol, small frame but impeccably balanced.
  It finishes on a slightly tart but very pleasant note. Long finish.
  No real hurry to drink...

  NYC Group does Pinots (NYC): Good deep color. Light cherry nose. Nice raspberry fruit, but the acids seem a little out of balanced. Perhaps this wine needs time, but it did not show well tonight. Given the vintage, it is probably too young.
