Some new notes in English for our foreign readers.

1999 Priure Roche Nuits St Georges Clos des Corvees Monopole;
Ruby red with garnet rim, some mushrooms, damp forest floor and leaves, game and starting secondary aromas, some iron and minerality. A bit lean but very precise and clean fruit in the mouth, suprising amount of tannins, a bit dry in the midle part of the palate, very good but lacks a little length, very elegant finish. 86


1997 Biondi-Santi Tenuta Il Greppo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva;
Pale ruby with hints of brick towards the rim. Very young still and exceptional clean style. Some vanilla, cherries, cherry stone, red plums, red berries, some game and leaves, lean in a way, yet very compleks. Ekceptional balance, fantasticly balanced acidity, very long finish, way to young. Give it 20 years. 97


2004 Mathilde et Yves Gangloff Cote-Rotie La Serene Noir;
Very dark ruby, thinn garnet rim. Violets, red fruits, sweet morelloes, vanilla, blackberries, hints of tar and minerals. Very elegant Cote-Rotie, nice acidity, ripe tannins, long finish, at this time a bit onedimentional, but I believe it will develop nicely. 88


2000 Chateau Musar (Magnum)
Ruby red, thin garnet rim. Floral, perfumed, some violets and roses, minerals, tobacco and leather, slight hint of volatility. Very nice acidity, soft tannins, fantastic fresh fruit and body, great balance and the best Musar I have tasted. Great bottle, long fresh aftertaste. 93
