Tasted 17 March 2011: (good level, approx. 2.5 cm below cork) Medium garnet core. Bouquet of rose petal, strawberry, autumn leaves, mushroom, coffee, caramel and five spice, a little marred by a hint of volatility. Palate confirmed the setting in of volatile acidity, but there was sufficient structure and complexity to suggest that this wine could have reached its peak only just a couple of years ago, when it was elegant and rich, sensual and breathtaking and at the highest and purest expression of top class burgundy! Still persistent finish. 17/20
This is a wine that needs drinking now, at its peak, if it's been well stored!
