Paired with the Drouhin where this was open with ripe red fruits, sweet & savory spices. Drinking well & much more complete than the Drouhin. — 11 days ago

After dumping a corked 97 vintage of the same I upgraded to the 96. Glad I did. Dark and murky, almost opaque. With air this goes bing cherry and spice. Notes of black cherry, pepper spice, wood, earth and a little mocha. Masculine. Shows that 96 acidity and some pucker. But it’s up against a big core of fruit that’s powerful as well. Long finish. This can probably improve with more age but is nice tonight. — 16 days ago

Reddish purple, translucent but dark. Bright sweet nose. Notes of raspberry, strawberry, some earth and spice. Rich and round in the mouth. Candied fruit nose and some menthol notes develop with air time. Great stuff. Still young and chewy but most enjoyable tonight. — 9 days ago

9.5

A brooding, intense nose. Dark red fruit, a bit of oak, intense violets and earthy fruit. Tight and masculine next to the Mugnier, but lovely stuff. — 18 days ago
