Burgundy; Côte de Nuits, Flagey-Echezeaux, France
(92-94; Drink 2025-34)

From our cellar, decanted 4H but wanted +6H.

Change of oak management . These wines are very elegant some of my favourite of the burgundy tasting 2013

1976. Hot vintage burg crushing it 38 years later. No decant just rock

Rhubarb. Too much oak char for me.

Another very good wine!!

2015! Avec le producteur.

2007.

Cranberry, cherry, strawberry...dry dark red fruits. Dry with an acidic finish. Light in color, Pinot noir. Forest fairies

Bought this many years ago for a bargain price. Admittedly it's a "suspect" bottle given the producer/bottler but I'm duly impressed. Scents of grilled beef, mushroom, and cranberry fruit. If anything, it's unbalanced and shows too much acid but I'm not complaining.

Fruity, alcohol
