Jenise, obviously this wasn't the best time to open such a bottle - if anyone has any, like I said, a decade or two would be a good time to let them rest. But also as Dale said, many 01 CdNuits are aromatically surprisingly open. They are young, but they give very much also. I have even enjoyed some Montille and Faiveley 2001s recently and those are reputed to be among the more reticent Burgundy producers! My appreciation might simply be due to me liking the general profile (well structured, elegant, but pure) profile of the vintage - if we allow for gross generalisations, of course.

I don't drink wine because of religious reasons ... only for other reasons.
