Slightly darker and more advanced than I would prefer, or compared to a great bottle opened in Chablis one year ago. Excellent concentration here, with mature lemon, lemon peel and lemon curd. Still very enjoyable.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
Decanted 20-30 minutes before serving. Not very open aromatically to start, but with great red fruit flavors along with nutmeg and allspice. Delicious. More interesting aromas emerged with more time in glass, and the palate and finish expanded and lengthened. I haven't had this wine since tasting from barrel in 2010, and was thrilled with it tonight.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Richebourg Grand Cru
Red and black berries throughout with a slightly restrained start, but gradually expanding over the next hour+. Very powerful by the finish with wonderful baking spice, with completely alluring aromas.
France, Loire Valley, Anjou-Saumur, Saumur-Champigny
Lots of black cherry and plum with savory herbs and spice on nose. Identical flavor profile, with moderate depth and length. Excellent balance. What a treat, at a bargain price on this wine list.

Intensely floral with ripe orchard fruit and lemon custard. Powerhouse of a dense wine for its level.
