(Bachelet Denis Charmes-Chambertin) Medium-plus colour. The nose starts more oaky than I remember. The fruit is dense and red - super-clean like gelée. The palate starts wide and then narrows, then narrows some more - very linear, understated and long. This is super but very much younger showing than my last visit.

(Bachelet Denis Charmes-Chambertin) Very deep colour. The nose starts with a little pine and then beautiful intense red fruit - reminds me of the 99 de Vogüé Amoureuses - a superb 'sniffers' wine. The palate is young and athletic - too young - but very balanced. A wine in waiting, but aromatically wonderful.

Nothing to write home about, the aromatics don't excite.

An exceptional 1996, balanced acidity, intense flavour. No over extraction. A lovely wine, drunk with a hamburger and chips lunch in the Suffolk countryside. What could be nicer?

Splendid array of dark fruits that is typical of Bachelet. Average nose, deep palate. Quite pleasant.

1996 Burgundy Retrospective - The Second Session (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): Wine 1, Very youthful medium expressive nose displaying concentrated black and red fruit, cherry, stewed tomato, blackberry, coffee bean, mint, iron, sweet spices and earth. Excellent concentration, nicely layered roasted black fruit, good energy and precision, bright acidity, good mineral presence and a long concentrated black fruit driven finish. This remains incredibly youthful and primary. Not showing much tertiary notes and seems a bit subdued.
