Still youthful, though not any better than on the day it was bottled to be honest. Can anybody tell me if the phrase on the back requiring under 14°C storage implies the wine does not have added sulfur? I don't think the N/S markings were used in the 90s on his wines. — 10 years ago

This is the 'Cuvée du Roi' 2012 and is clearly a Bourgogne from the Cotes-du-Nuits. This is rich and silky with great depth and structure that has some lovely acidity and fine tannins that drinks well above its level. Could easily be a good C-D-N villages. — 10 years ago
