Surprise! I wasn’t expecting as much when I opened this but I was pleasantly surprised. Needed about 90 min of air to fully come alive but it was pretty well on its way at 30 min. Nose of red/blue berry and an acidity/mineral scent. On the palate, it was crisp, but had a fair amount of body - tannin soft - and layered. I picked a fair amount of stone, gravel along with spiced plum and a bit of leather. A really good showing.

Very special evening tonight. 12 bottles of Echézeaux – 2011 where enjoyed, semi – blind, by a small group of Bourgogne lovers. Short notes on each wine. Lamarche, Lieux – dits: 48% Les Cruots, 34% Clos St. Denis, 19% Les Champs Traversins. Nose: Touch of herbs and stems, dry oak, dark fruit, a somewhat unclean and dirty disturbing green note present. Palate: Rather dry fruit, some fine berries, green notes, touch oak, a bit thin, and somewhat short. (89 – 91)

Dec Catch Up @ C@B!: Black fruits, red fruits, terroir, spices, red tea. Quite structured and firm. Drinking well now. 91/92

Fine Vines Fall 2016 Portfolio Tasting (Fine Vines - Melrose Park IL): Tasting, brief note. Red cherry and berry, floral subtle spice. Very charming and balanced. No green hints at all. Better than when last tasted two years ago.

Lite kort och utan riktigt komplexitet
