Tasting 2017 Red Burgundy (Birch Road Cellar - Chicago IL): Big and brawny for the '17 with lots here, but somewhat awkward today, even seeming nearly disjointed. I expect this will come together at some point in the future when its (very) firm center softens, but I have trouble projecting when that will be.

Followed a spectacular Henri Gouges from the same vintage so may have been a bit unfair. Had some similar characteristics to the 17 Gouges Vaucrains but that was dialled up to 11, this wine only dialled about a 6. Good wine but nothing exceptional.
