I have experienced an enormous amount of bottle variation here with the most recent bottle easily surpassing the last half dozen examples that I have tried, in fact by such a margin that I have trouble explaining it. I was with quite a few experienced burgnuts and everyone present had the same reaction, e.g. that this was completely atypical. By contrast| a note that would be more representative of my experience with this wine is: Not especially aromatically expressive though the flavors are pretty and pure though they remain tight and curiously somewhat one-dimensional flavors. While this is perfectly good| it lacks personality and the superior depth that this wine seems to deliver in most vintages. The '85 Clos St. Jacques is certainly approachable now though this will easily hold for another 10 years. In sum, a very good example.
