A 'Lost Cellar' wine. This is another find buried at the bottom of my cellar. Initially like so many old Burgundy this looked rusty and very tertiary on the nose. However gentle aeration for 2 hours reveals a clear cherry red colour with some edge browning and a nose of dark cherries, dark raspberries, wild strawberry and touches of hung game, forest floor and tilled limestone based soil. The palate has a lovely line of dark stone fruits that leads the way into a fine finish that shows touches of earth, spice and forest floor. Ultimately the finish falters a little but the purity of the fruit expression at over 22 years of age is striking.
