What a difference a Grand Cru can make compared to the '97 Mercurey; good nose, decent backbone, balanced, refined, but missing, I think, the power it must have had 10 years ago.

Slightly tawny in appearance, watery rim showing its age. Warming nose. Decanted for 1hr, found fruit a bit dry and hints of raisin. Fruit became more obvious when consumed with cheese. Probably past its best.
