both of the last two notes (Ronniepeimonte's and mine) say it well, this still tastes so refreshing and young... almost bold (for a pinot) at its ripe old age of 20... this still feels like it goes 10-15 year more EASILY (has some acidity alongside the bold-minus body to give it aging ability

in decanter 30 minutes, this tasted like Montille Volnay Taillepieds... high toned, bright and acidic... lively to the extreme... enjoying it for an hour plus and then Jim and I realized that it had rounded out somewhat, had more body / depth... almost like it migrated from Taillepieds toward Bonnes Mares... the fruit was richer and darker (tho still red) and super nice with minerals and still good acid balance... wow this was good... I suspect it will drink unbelievably well for 15 more years min

Wow. Drinking really, really well. Visually, light garnet and evolved. Delicious nose of forest floor and damp earth, wet stones, with notes of red fruits (cherries, raspberries). On the palate, delivious savory notes, lots of umami. Reminded me a little bit of the Kalin '99 PN I had not too long ago (minus the volatility). Very impresed.

Yuk! All meaness and green stalk. Clearly whole bunch and not fully ripe. Then over extracted. Would rather drink Dujac and I really do not like that producer.

Still going strong. Damp fresh nose. Concentrated and focused.
