Cut grass, earth. Medium Tannins, long finish. Pretty classic Chinon profile but with added elegance. — 10 years ago

Classic Bordeaux profile, balanced, ready to drink but will also age smoothly. — 10 years ago

Just dusted of one; not the class act like the 05 but very well structured classic aged fruit profile with a gamey flavor lining. The tannins are soft but hold your attention. If you can fine it buy it this is well done drinking great but has a long life ahead. — 12 years ago

What a great vintage- a lot of sediment, so beware, but excellent living taste profile. — 10 years ago

2000 vintage. Deep garnet. Medium plus intensity of wood polish, savoury spice, wet leaves and morelles. Slightly green blackberry and blueberry. On the palate, a wave of sweet fruit with great concentration. Good acidity and full body. Tobacco and cigar box. Savoury notes and concentrated black fruits. Good length - not quite as long as 2005. But this wine is more developed and complex at this stage of its development. Lovely. NB: with an hour in the glass, this wine is a different beast. Concentrated, the savoury flavours are broad and work very well with the black fruit profile. There's a persistency of flavour on the finish that is very appealing! I now prefer this to the '05. — 10 years ago

Wine of the night. Sneaky Burgundian profile and weight that might have been green once upon a time. Finished long, with lingering raspberry leaf tea notes and lip smacking stoniness. — 11 years ago

Liked it but didn't love it. Flavor profile came off too sweet. — 10 years ago

Um yeah... #BOOM status granted for this at the #yulwinethrowdown . 81 not the best of vintages and wines are reportedly past peak but this first growth was not. Very interesting flavour profile, certainly secondary characteristics but structurally still pretty sound. I was glad to find it still alive and in my opinion had many more years left before the big decline. Awesome privilege to have tasted. — 10 years ago

1960 was for kind of forgotten close to the nice 1959 and 1961 vintages - but the wine still handle well, with a light profile, a nice experience from a nice gift, maybe 60 was better for the Beatles !? However it feels kind of younger than 1960 at first sight, an off vintage in good shape but will get soon enough to its peak 😐 — 11 years ago
