PNP at Klaus Erfort Great balance of fruit and tannin. Just at the beginning of its window. Good bouquet of flowers .A modestly feminine wine for Gevrey

Bday Burg session at Maison Dakota. Drank pop & pour in Grassl Cru and then 6 hours later in Gabriel Standart. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour, thin garnet rim. Legs. Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of sous bois, earth, sour red cherries, red plumstony minerality, garden rose bush which disappeared after the air-time in bottle. Developed. On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), structured high tannin, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sous bois, earth, sweet red plum, sour red cherries, macerated strawberry, dark red cherries, stony minerality. Bitter herb towards the long finish. Very good quality. Grand Cru structure and heft is there, fruit is there, and tertiary notes have developed. Ticks boxes rather than inspires. I would say drink now while the fruit is still in balance with the tertiary sous bois. Once the fruit dries up more this won't be looking pretty. Tannins may outlast the fruit here.

Friday after Thanksgiving (FAT) - Part 1 - Burgundy 2006 (Palm Beach Gardens FL): Small taste, brief note. Open approx 6:30 then tasted several hours later. Black fruit with roasted meat character. Hint of liqueur on finish. Forward, balanced, good now, with moderate length and nuance. Tasted again the 2nd day, it came across slightly longer and more interesting.

Blind tasting at Rob & Bev's; 3/22/2014-3/23/2014: Tasted blind at a party. Nose was a bit funky with tart red cherry fruit and minerality. This wine was huge and not yet ready to drink, with med+ tannins and med+ acidity, have to shave your tongue after each drink. That being said, the pedigree shined through the tannins, showing that this wine will be large and in charge in 4-5 more years or so. Drink starting 2018-2030 or so.

Wildman Tasting and Dinner (Knightsbridge - Northbrook IL): Lots of spice on nose with black fruit. Palate shows very accessible fruit for such a young Grand Cru. Not lots of concentration or nuance, but very balanced and expressive of Gevrey-Chambertin.

CCT Burgundy Dinner (Daley's on Yates, Schenectady, NY): [Opened (but not decanted) about two hours before serving.] Lots of juicy red fruit in the mouth. High acidity. May need more time. Hard to judge. 92?

Upside potential. Too young. Tannins still rough and dominant. Give another 3-5 years.

Rousseau / Potel / Prieur Dinner (Knightsbridge): Bright red/pink color. Big full nose of focused earthy spicy black fruit. Big rich juicy black fruit. Nice.
