Completely maderized. Ohh well. See if the next bottle delivers.

A bit smudged tonight by the oxidative sherry/almond notes. Nose was pretty oxidative, but the palate was quite nice. Plum, dried cherry, and fig with cocoa and cedar notes. Still well structured, seamless palate feel and apparent depth. This bottle just featured more of the oxidative notes, and lacked the terroir of the last bottle.

When wines get to this age you are just happy to get an intact example. This was far from a poor showing, but the bottle in March was better

This was showing pretty hot on this particular night. Not paying close attention, but perhaps it was served too warm. Just OK on this occasion.

Without knowing much about your preferences, but looking at your cellar, I would say that the 2008 Ile de Vergelesses from Rolin is sure fire, and will give you as sense of where the Chandon Brailles wines will be in a few years. The Cornu wines were really good across the board, but for me the favorite was the Mouttotes from a price/quality stand point. Of course the Corton's were regal if you are interested in white burgs.
