Really smooth, creamy texture with lovely flavors of earthy cherries and smoky minerals. While it didn't have the mineral crunch or concentration of the '90 Drouhin Beze tasted alongside, it was better balanced and more suave and fine. It really gained in the glass and paired beautifully with the guinea hen. Surprisingly good and very ready now.

Young bottle with funk on the initial nose yielding to damp soil aromas, rounded spice. A rich and dark palate with ripe fruit, crushed rocks, earthiness, coffee grounds and faint coal dust. Balanced despite the ripeness. A surprisingly strong performance
