Saturday, March 28, 2015 - HDH Burgundy Auction (Chicago, IL): Pop and pour (yeah, yeah, I know). Very ripe red fruit on the nose. Perversely, this is missing most of the spice that I'd expect from a Vosne grand cru, though it does show a modest amount of oak spice. Very concentrated with surprisingly fresh (for 13 years) fruit on the palate, coupled with a slight bit of umami as well. Very, very sappy. Quite soft and fleshy, and really, this seemed to be a really shapeless bottle of wine to me -- it was really lacking in tannic structure and acidity. Maybe air would have helped it along, but I guess today's not the day to find out.
