Pale garnet and translucent. Took about ½ hour to open but worth the wait. Mid to dark red fruit with earthy complexity. Balanced and long. I do not think it is getting any better but still years left.

Initially slow to emerge from its shell, but give it time and food .. and it unfurls gently into a dark-toned dense black-fruited gem. How can a 23yo wine from a so-so burg vintage be this tightly coiled? Sadly the last of the case; otherwise I'd have left in some time before broaching another.

Nick's 64 Goodge Street (Mainly) Burg Dinner (64 Goodge St): This is quite aromatic, with dark fruit, herbal notes. Soil, game. Quite complex if a but dusty. Medium bodied, leanish, dusty dark fruit, spice, fine but still quite firm tannins, good length finish.

Nick's Burgundy evening at 64 Goodge Street: Dark but bright red, no bricking I could see. A nose to spend time with, savoury and herbal. This rusticity continues to the palate where it is joined by a little barnyard and some chewiness, and sweet dark hedgerow fruits, something like sage, and gentle tannins. As it gets more air it mutates to redder fruits. This is really good stuff - Grivot of any age rarely disappoints even though this is from an earlier era of wine-making.

Nick A's 64 Goodge Street Burgundy Dinner (64 Goodge Street, London): Dark fruits and a real aniseedy depth here. Later pomegranate jelly sweetness / sourness. Palate is very tannic on pouring which only partly eases in the glass. Some pea shoots and hints of cherry cola emerge in time. Definitely one for the future here.

(Jean Grivot Clos Vougeot) Minerals and flowers on the nose with explosive fruit and tannins. Very ripe and powerful. Needs 10 years but offers great potential.
