Out of half bottle. Initially backward. After 30 minutes to an hour of air, very pretty and opened for business. Was curious about what Faiveley had done in the past with this vineyard after drinking countless bottles since Mugnier has taken over.

The 85 still had good structure and grip here in 2017. Beautiful wine with mushroom risotto. Rather masculine, really nice notes of iron and other manliness.

Tannic, fruit still red but certainly sappy. Lacking some depth and "elegance"

From 375ml. A bit past its prime in this format, but still some nice elements.

First experience with Marechale pre-Freddy. What it lacks in fineness it makes up for in brawn. Still very lovely. 375ml

Half-bottle from the cellar of Bern's Steakhouse. Not the least bit tired after 40 years!
