Flight 1 (1 Note)

Flight 2 (2 Notes)

  • 2004 Domaine Robert Arnoux / Arnoux-Lachaux Clos Vougeot

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

    Fairly faint nose initially of berries and herbs. Silky. Herbal and animal notes on the palate. Fine, bitter tannin; good acid. Still young, and continued to come out of its shell with air. Very good.

  • 2004 Domaine Georges Mugneret-Gibourg Clos Vougeot

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Clos Vougeot Grand Cru

    So much more open and ready than the other wine in the flight [Robert Arnoux 2004 Clos Vougeot]. Dark berry and liquor on the nose, pine needles. Very pretty nose. Silky texture and finish. Slight green notes (2004?) but not in a distracting way at all. Very good. Great flight.

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2014 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Les Grézeaux

    France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Chinon

    Clearly Cab Franc, in cleaner, less earthy style. Green pepper and blackberry. Not showing as great as I imagine it could be with age. This seems oh so young.

  • 2007 Arnot-Roberts Syrah Griffin's Lair

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast

    Very expressive, open, exotic nose of black berries, leather, smoke, and other interesting elements I could not immediately place. Almost leaps out of the glass. Huge attack - rich, big, almost chewy (overheard: you have to work through it, like a steak). Interesting.
