* Expert NoteDecember 19, 2005
A wonderful aged Burgundy from a great property; the nose is sweet and clear at the beginning, belying its age with a rich tapestry of aromas that range from burnt sugar and toffee to tobacco leaf and chocolate, earthen and spicy with green herb aromas laced with pepper, deep and complex nose; sweet and ripe in the mouth with elegant fruit and acidity; really shows its breeding; quite rich with mature fruit flavors of plums and ripe cherries; there is a hint of volatile acidity that mars the picture some, but extraordinary for its age. (18.5/20)

Deep, rich nose, quite earthen and spicy, layers of spiced fruit that are mostly black cherries but with a touch of prunes in the background; deep and rich in the mouth; these wines tend to be deep and powerful and this one is there; aged fruit detracts a bit and this wine should be viewed as on its way down from the apogee; still sound though with lots of black and red cherry flavors; underlying the fruit is a pleasant mélange of cinnamon, clove, and other exotic spices; a complex wine with layers of flavor. (18.5/20)
