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. — 9 years ago

Un Bourgogne dune finesse incroyable. 1990. On est sur des arômes secondaires et de la vérité bien Kirchee. Tabac cacao en bouche pour un Bourgogne. Et tout cela en dentelle extrêmement fin. C'est incroyable de se dire qu'un vin aussi sensible et subtil a pu traverser les décennies comme cela. — 6 years ago
