PNP Was a bit closed at first, but opened up nicely. Iron, cherry, wet slate and earthy. Really started to open up after about 2 hours. Still a young wine, probably needs another 10 years to open up some secondary characteristics.

Some nice Burgundies (Chicago, IL): A pretty disappointing showing for the vintage. The wine is very structured and doesn't show any of the prettiness of 2010; instead it's bound up in some iron and earth notes and with the fruit somewhat missing in action, this is a bit dull and uninspiring.

well made but still a little reticent now. would give this a lot more time and don't think this will ever be a top Clos Vougeot, irrespective of the vintage.

Popped and poured. This is a light garnet wine. On the nose, I get cherry, fresh strawberry sauce, forest, spice, and a touch of smoke generated by burning loose wood clippings. The mouth is crisp but somewhat stern, showing an array of red fruits yet remaining coiled. The tightly-coiled nature continues through a finish that displays some spicy aspects while keeping most of its cards tight to the vest. Overall, this had a decent showing today, especially on the nose, but I certainly feel like the best should be yet to come. 91 points with meaningful upside potential.
