  Stood up for a month, double decanted off 2oz both fine and large sediment. Light ruby, age-appropriate bricking; aromatic with plenty of savory notes, umami, dried violets, tomato leaf; palate is light bodied, low-medium alcohol, medium-plus acidity, mature red cherry fruit, strawberry, some savory mulch/forest floor, dried berries, fully integrated tannins; medium-long finish, well balanced. This is an excellent, mature, grand-cru quality red burgundy, showing excellent balance with some tertiary maturity but also with the right amount of freshness and fruit. I would start to drink through my bottles in the next few years, though it may last a bit longer than that. 93-94
  Consumed over 3 hours: Retained vibrancy, freshness, and great character throughout. Did not really improve, but did not decline much until the very end. Not sure the last half glass will be as good tomorrow, but really lovely with a salmon dinner tonight.

  A (Burgundy Grand Cru) Birthday Celebration (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Double blind. Dense and rich with obvious Grand Cru density but a bit more new oak still protruding than I'd prefer, hiding terroir to a considerable degree. Vintage lean character comes through nicely.

  Patio Dining at Tilia on a Warm Fall Evening (Tilia, Mpls): Medium dark red plus color with a 4mm orange margin. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. This was a lovely bottle, offering complex notes of rose petals, saddle leather, tomato leaf, cherry, and black cherry on the nose. The palate has pretty dark fruits, black raspberry, black cherry, suave leather, saddle leather, silken texture and soft integrating tannins. This was in a great place tonight. Wish I'd have gotten more now. 93+ to 94pts.

  Pleasantly surprised tonight as usually in their youth this producer's wines can be a bit over-oaked like Jadot masking the fruit & terroir. At age 20 and I think a decant this was drinking very nicely. Loved the earthiness I associate with 2001 in general. All and all a nicely balanced example of aged red Burgundy with some tertiary notes on both palate & nose. Might have bought one of these from a Envoyer myself had I not had "so so" experiences with younger wines from the producer. Really fun tonight. 93+

  Perrot-Minot 2001-2005 Tasting (Chicagoland IL): In 01-05 vertical. Certainly good, but my least favorite. As much earth as mature black and red cherry with some pronounced new oak still coming through. Time to drink up.
