Impressively fresh for 20 years old. Only slightly oxidative and acetic nose. Fruit edging toward dried character, but bright cherry notes still remain, and acid remains strong. Tannic structure intact. Spicy and delightful with our chicken roulade and spot prawns at Coi, although the somm mis-diagnosed this as a Volnay 1er Cru.

Acidity and tannins have softened significantly. This wine will be great is 2-5 more yrs. Who would have thought that. 1er cru beaune would take this long to round out?
