Bright ruby-red. Knockout nose of raspberry, minerals, herbs, spices and tar...Strong, perfectly integrated acidity frames and carries the sappy fruit. Finishes with great precision and grip... Stephen Tanzer, Vinous Media

Deep and quite reticent on the nose. Dark plum fruit. Spices and inky salinity. Very good stuff. Still rather young

Paired with a mushroom soup, this was beautiful. It started a bit closed but opened after about an hour and it was decanted as well. What a fantastic Burgundy should be. Still needs a little time, but wow!

Gripping and powerful. Very dark fruit. Long finish. So much potential.

Give the '99 another decade to snooze. Although, if you contribute one to a dinner, no one will complain.

More earthy with truffle & mushroom. Tonight most preferred the Drouhin.

30th wedding anniversary dinner in Big Sur. Best wine I have ever tasted. Mint, menthol, herbs, dried flowers, river rock on nose, red fruit (cherry), spices, minerals, and some secondary flavors with such a light, silky texture and endless finish. Ethereal. Such a gorgeous wine. And a special evening celebrating 30 years.

An enormous wine, two hours of decant showed promising primary flavors with a hint of secondary after some time in the glass. Will need another 10 years to strut its stuff
