France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Tasting, brief note. In 12/11/03 vertical. Pure and elegant expression of red and black cherry with charming Asian five spice. Bright and nicely balanced with good weight. Lots of upside if this puts on weight as it ages.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Echezeaux Grand Cru
Tasting, brief note. In 12/11/03 vertical. Very big and ripe start, still nicely fresh and delicately spiced. Finishes slightly off center with the sweet ripeness dominating. Good overall. I'd cellar this longer if I owned any bottles.

2010 Domaine Anne et Hervé Sigaut Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Sentiers Vieilles Vignes 92 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru
Tasting, brief note. In 10/03/00 vertical. From magnum. Red cherry and berry throughout with crunchy, endearing mineral textures that give this an almost weightless character I truly enjoy. I expect this will put on weight and substance as it ages. Very good potential here.

France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Tasting, brief note. In 11/09/01 vertical. Big fruit aromas showcasing both black and red cherry and berry. More brawny, firm and backward on palate, this wine had completely shut down showing none of its prior youthful charm. Cellar to 2026-.

2009 Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Bonnes Mares 95 Points
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
Tasting, brief note. In 11/09/01 vertical. Clearly very ripe with savory dried herbs and spice, but also powerful and balanced. Great length and power. Certainly needing cellar time, but also certainly one of the top wines of the day. Glad to have a bunch in the cellar.

Tasting, brief note. In 09/07/03 vertical. Dense and very tannic. You can really see the old Faiveley style coming through here. I have no idea when/ how will this emerge into something interesting.
