Eric Levine at The Ledbury: Quite cloudy. Mature, mellow nose. Nice touch of sous-bois. Sweet fruit, mellow, complex with nice intensity. Really lovely. ****

(from memory) - nose: soaring complex floral notes intermingled with pure but mellowed red and black fruit. same impressive nose as the last bottle. palate: started out rather shrill and disjoint (needed more slowox time!), with a thin mid-palate. well balanced, with good components, including pure ripe red/black fruit and nicely softened tannins. Over 4 hrs the mid-palate gap closed a bit, the wine put on some weight, and was no longer disjointed, as the components began to come together, somewhat. finish was moderately extended with decent minerality, but still seemed like a skin and bones compared to the last voluptuous bottle (same lot). consumed from restaurant burg glasses not to my liking, so what to think except bring Reidel-shaped glasses next time? slowoxed for 5 hrs

Nicely evolved Burg - underwood taste, still time at hand

Eric LeVine comes to London (The Ledbury, London): Another murky one, but more substantial than the Dujac, smoky, earthy, savoury, vigorous, more Gevrey than Chambolle, but very satisfying
