1996 vintage. At Ryozanpaku in Kyoto, Japan. Medium garnet - slight bricking around the edge. Medium intensity of aromas, manure, earth, blackberry, violet creams and savoury spices. Fairly complex if slightly mature. On the palate, good fresh acidity, medium body and noticeable rounded tannins. The mid palate is flavoursome and impressive. The finish is slightly short. Probably won't benefit from further ageing. However, I suggest giving the wine 30 minutes of air before serving. — 8 years ago

Powerfulだけど、強すぎず、短すぎず長すぎずEarthyな良さ。頑張ったご褒美に彼との素敵なデートの締め括りとして。年一よりはもう少しカジュアルに、頑張った日のご褒美ワインとして最適。 — 10 years ago

This was a really good burgundy. Grand cru might pay higher taxes but it's justified most of the time this being no exception. Wonderful soft cherry fruit underpinned with pine dominate this effort. Yum. — 9 years ago

1964. Superb. Elegant. Delicious and complex on the nose. Finish is a bit abrupt though. Fades with 1.5 hours of air but wine of the tasting in any event. — 9 years ago
