Tasted blind. Dark tawny color. Sweet, candied fruit nose with notes of dark raspberries, some spice, some mocha, some gravel stone and a little soy sauce. In the mouth, there is a dryness to it when compared to the great nose and smells this gives off. Very masculine. Punches you in the face. Guessed 89 Rousseau Clos de Beze. Great juice!

Don't really have too much to say about this wonder, I've always loved '88, this was quite magical, high toned beautiful funkiness, classic decomposing undergrowth & steminess, didn't stand up forever, but when blossoming you couldn't ask for more.

Stupidly cheap on the list here. '88 rustic tannins, but with air a kaleidoscope of flavor and texture.

Nose was epic. EPIC, but the palate didn't fill out ever. Super tasty even if it's thin

Could not have been happier with how this was showing. Big and powerful but starting to show a sensitive side as well.

This really opened up with time in the glass becoming richer & denser showing lots of cherry, earth, leather orange peel & spice.
