Saturday Tasting Group (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (Northbrook, IL)): Plump cranberry, some stewed tomato and red roast pepper. Bloody meat. A little age showing and screams Rhone...yet it was Burgundy. Still really thought funky Syrah. So much spice. Woody. Cinnamon and anise. Red rocks. Drinking really well right now. Lift and finesse.

Holiday Wines at Knightsbridge (Northbrook, IL): Ripe black fruit aromas, showing fair amount of maturity, but also good prominent spice. Palate seems more vibrant and fresh with meaty spice. Long finish. Drink in next 3-5 years.

(Geantet-Pansiot Charmes-Chambertin) Deep ruby - no sign of age. Bright blueberry and black cherry nose trailing off with a hint of coffee. The palate has good fat and acidity. Nice black fruit with slightly grainy, medium-density tannins. Very good length too - BUT - there seems no 'involvement' with this wine and it seems flat. I suspect the insidious entry of low level taint - you can't tell that it's corked and unfortunately there is no back-up bottle for reference. This was drunk following Méo-Camuzet's Bourgogne - and all four people drinking preferred the Bourgogne despite the obviously better underlying material of this wine. Not cooked - must be tainted - a shame.

Rhone-like spiciness. Warm, medium bodied. Mature, without hard edges, but still a nice red fruit profile. Nice.

Wonderful spicy and truffle nose. Concentrated, spicy, exotic wine - a little black cherry fruit. 94+
