Burgundy For Lunch Bunch Holiday Event 2023 (Phoenix, AZ USA): Earthy and pretty, with a lacy elegance that first had me thinking Chambolle. Then as it filled out, our minds when to perhaps a great Morey Saint Denis grand cru. Upon the reveal we were surprised to have been so far off the mark, but of course delighted to have enjoyed a superb bottle of this wine. Quite lovely, but the competition was even more impressive today.

A private tasting and dinner (Restaurant Fitzgerald *, Rotterdam, NL): Bottle No. 12221 / 15537. Marvellous nose, deep and precise and fresh, to swoon in, Vosne spices and minerals, nutty evolution, autumnal red berries; juicy and delicate palate, flowing and elegant, power without weight, effortless elegance supported by a firm backbone, excellent resonance and length. At perfect peak.

Drank side-by-side with 06' Rousseau Chambertin-Clos de Bèze. By comparison the DRC was a bit more green and slightly less ripe and juicy, but equally delicious I'd say. Plenty of dark fruit and beautiful aromatics.

(Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Richebourg) Cloudy, bricking light medium raspberry red color with clear meniscus; intriguing tart red fruit and tobacco nose; tart red fruit, tobacco and mineral palate with depth, needs 5 plus years; medium-plus finish
(Romanée-Conti Richebourg) Colour is perhaps, not so dense as the Romanée Saint-Vivant, but a similar shade of cherry. Beguiling and persistent, the deep red and black cherry nose shows just a little kirsch at the top end. There’s good acidity, and forward, though controlled tannins. There’s also a richness to match the volume you experience in the mouth, but somehow on tasting, this wine seems less involving than the others; gorgeous aromatics though.
(DRC Richebourg) Powerful aromatics. Raspberries, exotic asian spices, minerals, clove, blackberries. Very deep and layered nose. So dense in the mouth with powerful extract and intense flavors of red and black fruit skins. Beautiful balancing acids. A hint of tar lingers on the finish. Incredible clinging length.
