My last bottle of this, saved to share with my friend Merrick Dowson, who was the importer of Laurent's wines at this time. I remember loving this on release and though the adolescent power of the wine has morphed into more a dowager aunt, it's still quite wonderful. Traces of the early beefiness are still here, but now enhanced by faded rose and five spices. The wine can go on for several more years, but no need to wait if you are seeking the pleasure of a real burgundy at it's mature and elegant moment
