Dark garnet with dark red rim; red currant, cranberry, blue cheese, sweaty pits; richness, tobacco, stony, earth, red fruit, darker, nice grip of tannin that is pleasant; pent up and lots left in the tank.
Dark crimson with small light red rim; diaper, red fruit, hints at cinnamon, sandalwood, fennel; deep and rich palate, big for Burg, very cherry, tannic, ripe, sour cherry, larger scaled, dark cherry pit, chewy, dense; a little singular but good potential; this bottle may have been advanced slightly.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Mazis-Chambertin Grand Cru
Light red with pale rim; cherry, orange, strawberry, almost cranberry, spice, open and ready; softer, good cut, sappy, tangy; in a good secondary phase.
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Dark garnet almost to rim; radish (I know who, what, and where we are), leather, funk, green, sweet tart, red fruit, acorn; leaner, hard red fruit, good freshness; not exactly sure why I didn't like this more; 90+.
Black core with garnet rim; plump blackberry, red currant, vanilla, stewed tomato, and something that is about to turn in to green pepper; licorice, dark and rich, tannic, almost closed, pencil shavings, graphite; needs 12 more years.
Pale red almost pink to the rim; a little reductive with plastic, sweet tart, cherry, strawberry, confected and youthful; fatter fruit, sweet with lots of sour cherry, highly tensile structure, taut; clean and delicious, would love to taste in 10 years.
