This is drinking real well at the moment, more so than the Isabelle. Good Bien-Nacido-ish flavors of cola and cherry, bright fruit, smooth tannins. Probably will gain for a few more years.

I've been a fan of ABC's PN's since the 1994 vintage, but I don't thinbk they're particularly long-lived, and I also believe they're not quite what they used to be. The 1994 La Bauge aux Dessus was better 5 years ago than it is now.

Board-O: This one may surprise you. By the way, some of ABC pinots from the 80's lasted well into the 90's and did not lose ground. I can't say the same for ABC's mid-90's, however......
