Gentle and pleasant nose of clear pinot fruit, without any flaw. The palate shows the classic '08 acidity in the beginning, but after a while in the glass it gets a bit more balanced because the tannins are sticking their thorns out. For some strange reason I kind of like this wine . It's weak, acidic and very, very boring, but without flaw.

Bright fruity nose of cherries and strawberries with lovely hint of truffle and supple leather. Great acidity and freshness, a little tight still but really enjoyable and cut through the lamb beautifully.

Joseph Drouhin '08 Burgundy Preview (Specialty Imports): Didn't show that well in this tasting. Nose and palate were super muted. Took forever to get some wild strawberries, herbs, and firm tannins. Pretty austere and hard to see through the acidity and tannin.
