  Purchased form the domaine.. appears to have been recorked at some point in the not so distant past. I don't know what to make of this wine... just kind of dull all around. Started off with a nice old burgundy nose, but after a few hours of Audouzing the nose seems to have become more subdued. A bit of burgundy silk on the palate and some nice acidity but the flavors were really mostly muddied, maybe even a bit watered down. Looks like the dealer won this round of aged burgundy gambling.

  Dense, suggestively fruity nose. Explosive in mouth - the butcher's truck crashed into a humidor. Various smoked Gevrey meats enjoyed while moistening a fine Cuban. Long, long ashy acidic finish. Backed by good dense fruit. No fade.
