My bottle. bought on release. Meh. I went back and forth on this as well, but decided against it. Earthy with old fruit, and often bursts of harsh acid. It ended up with aspects of rotten leaves and overdone fruit. There were hints of something decent, but overall pretty unpleasant. 10/20.

Really agreee with comment below this one. To add to that, the color was a bit cloudy, but nose was very pretty. Was excited about this one given the vintage, but really underperformed overall.

The stand out feature is the 1996 acidity. I can see the the comment about the cream sauce. This wine would be a good palate cleanser. True to pinot noir on nose and palate, it delivered some current and stewed raspberry, and a lovely underbrush. It had some finesse but not the grand cru weight I expected. The length on the palate fell off on the final glass.

Pop-and-poured, then drunk over four hours. Fairly-well aged burgundy. Decent Pinot character but nothing distinctive about it. Mellow and mainstream. Very nice with cream-sauced based meal.

mercaptan. All burnt rubber, and tar. Undrinkable.
