Saturday, March 28, 2015 - HDH Burgundy Auction (Chicago, IL): Served blind with the 1997; I misguessed them, based on a surprising somewhat ripe red fruit on the nose that I've experienced with other 1997s. The pronounced stems on the nose should have told me otherwise. Very pungent. Super stemmy on the palate as well, this definitely doesn't have the same opulence that Jeremy has since brought to the estate. On the other hand, there is immense restraint. Lovely brown spice, stems, and still chewy tannins. I liked this more than the 1997.
