Tasting notes
Pale to mid ruby with some rust notes. Very earthy, complex and satisfying. Not desperately intense but beautifully balanced. Very appetising. No 1998 awkwardness. Fresh and lively with great delicacy – not the richest Gevrey but lovely Burgundy tightrope stuff. Bravo! Great length. (JR)

Lively healthy ruby – much more transparent than the 1999. Real bouquet – very perfumed. Rich yet savoury and very positive attack on the front palate and then going a little dry on the finish (though much less than the 1999). Good attack and balance. Freshness on the very end. Good and zesty even if probably at its peak now. (JR)
