had an intense/complex nose that was full of ripe stone fruit scents. It was very creamy and fat with flavours of mushroom and limestone minerality. It showed a fantastic balance between the fruit and minerality with a long, smooth and tight finish. Not a typical Burgundy, tasted almost new world.

Tight at first, but after an hour the wine really blossomed with a creamy mouth-feel. Excellent wine, not at all acidic as I had feared. Went beautifully with John Dory filet in beure blanc sauce.

Wineflock - Chardonnay Shootout (Dennis'): Group #6, My #4 - Pale yellow color. Medium nose of yellow fruit and lemon pledge (rounded out and blew off with some air). Nice balanced mineral yellow fruit wiht a hint of citrus on the palate. Nice.

Flock - Chardonnay Shoot Out (Dennis'): Gold color. Charming nose has toast, rich fruit, spice and minerals. Palate presents racy acidity and toasty citrus fruit. Needs time to integrate - only medium bodied fruit hasn't yet integrated the wood. My #8, Group #6.

1989/1990 Bordeaux Dinner (Feast & Imbibe - Evanston, IL): Youthful and expressive nose has ripe baked apple and honey notes. Palate is round with fresh, bright acids. Plenty of fruit and energy in this wine.

1989/1990 Bordeaux Dinner (Feast & Imbibe - Evanston IL): Slightly floral start with mature apple aromas and flavors. Moderate weight and intensity, but overall well balanced and a very nice drink tonight.

DC winos belated holiday dinner - Mostly Burg and Bordeaux (Lavandou, Washington DC): Rich, oily yellow fruits, sweet. It seems a bit dull and lacks energy. Certainly not premoxed but not my cup of tea.
