Beaune Coucheraux Grand Cru 1955 fro Louis Jadot. The wine was very developed, but still had some fruit and body, but it is in serious decline. Difficult to judge a wine like this, but it's still hiding elements of greatness behind the oxidized bouquet.(Drink now) - 86p …
Domaine Dujac Aux Combottes 1999
Aux Combottes 1999 from Dujac was a bit disappointing. Dujac made very nice wines in 1999, but this showed very hot tones, i.e. quite heavy sweetness, prunes and tar. No doubt vintage is hot, but I really hop this Dujac wine with cellaring will become more classic style Burgundy. The potential is …
