I'm sad to say it was more developed than I would have expected.

Very dark rubi robe, slightly bricked on the rim, nose of steak tartare, top soil and secondary notes. Dark cherries, crushed flowers and asian spices, very dense and concentrated. Accessible now but no rush. Great bottle.

Slightly off bottle. A bit of green on the nose, blew off after an hour. Good tannin and acidity. Dark fruit, bit of spice.

An outstanding wine which exhibits dark ruby, purple robe. It not only offers a deep smell of mint, chocolate and dark fruits from the forest but also a deep taste on the palate, with powerful dark cherry notes. You can almost feel a bit of tannins here and there, with a prestigious and long finish. Bravo!

1996 vintage. Chambertin grand Cru. The nose exudes floral, perfume notes - candied stewed red plum and raspberry. The leather tan notes from the ageing and oak are attractive and subtle. On the palate, more of a wild strawberry note - the fruit is still very much there. Acidity is bright and present. The tannins are very tight grained and chewy. The finish is long, but there is a drying finish. I do think there are some failings here. The mid palate has a lack of flesh, and there is a slight lack of texture that I was hoping for. Overall, the nose outperforms the palate. Nonetheless, a great find. NB: drink within 1 hour of opening or risk crash and burn.

97 with some astringency showing trough this ripe wine. Surprisingly tannic with some fruit still around. Bigger mouthfeel than expecte especially given the vintage. A fun drink and a deal for GC.
