Christmas drinks!
Medium garnet. Sauvage notes of underbrush and earth, with some Asian spice. The palate initially lacked harmony and finesse, even showed signs of fatigue....we had thought this might be past its best. Yet, after 3 hours of opening and time in the glass, this transformed into a wine of much harmony and elegance, with just the right amount of acidity keeping the palate fresh and lively. Long and complex finish.....showing coffee and Asian spicy notes. A gorgeous transformation! 18/20
2001 Montrachet, Ramonet
This showed a bright golden colour. Notes of lemon, pear, smoke, nuts, candied fruit and honey. Rather rich and evolved on the palate....I would have preferred a bit more energy on the palate. For me, this did not quite deliver the class or supremacy of Montrachet. 16/20
