Dark ruby, almost opaque. Doesn't look that old in the glass. Herbal nose with dark fruit, white pepper, gravel, some dry earthy dust. Shorter finish than what the nose offers. Good effort for the vintage. I guessed 82 Ducru.

The blanc was having some trouble but it was still interesting. It wasn't resolved and showed awkwardly. All of qualities are there, but just not working together. More time?

Double decant and pour(some fine sediment). A splendid still dark magenta color with bricking. On the nose: Beautiful areomatics of blackberry, cigar box, worn leather, green vegi, bandaid(brett). Taste: savory, elegant, structured wine with some sour cherry, currants, tobacco leaf, charred earth, and a crushef rock-coffee medium finish. Sure, on the downside, but still drinks savory good tonight.

The acidity in this bottle was really out front, almost bracing. It’s going to be at least 5 years before I open another one. I really enjoyed this 88 when it was more primary, think it’s just going to take time to resolve.
