  2009 Domaine Patrice Rion NSG 1er Cru Clos des Argillières. Rubinrød med vandig kant. Tiltalende duft av modne røde bær med innslag av noe mørkere frukt. Jordbær, bjørnebær, krudder, anis. Pent anslag, men blir straks trå og streng i munn. Rustikk i stilen. Fremdeles ganske fremtredende tanniner, mistenker litt hard toast av fat. Noe bitterhet i avslutning. Bra lengde. Går bedre med mat. Trenger sannsynligvis mer tid på langs for å komme rundt..om den noen gang gjør det. 88p

  This is Domaine Michèle et Patrice Rion; 13% alcohol. Superb long dense yet supple cork with hardly any wine penetration. Light to medium colour, bright and limpid.
  Aromatic nose of red cherries and red berries; some oak initially, but it does not intrude. The mouth has very good intensity without feeling concentrated; a model of Burgundian balance in that respect. Red berries again and fine acidity. Drinks fine now but not quite mature yet. Far removed from the plummy style of Nuits St G and none the worse for it.
  Would buy again if prices became more palatable.

  Colour showing mid age. Practically no deposit which surprised me. It has been stored fairly cool which usually promotes dropping of solids. Aroma of ripe vintage, some richness, trace of alcohol, very savoury and attractive. At first, seemed a bit over ripe, but with some air became very tasty. Still some tannin and mouth feel of a ripe vintage, a touch of alcohol but consistent with the flavour, not sticking out as it does with most Rhones these days. Really enjoyable, if you like a wine with texture, which I do. Maybe near its peak, but a few years will not change it much.
  
  second thoughts: alcohol not prominent, improving in the glass.

  Fine Vines Burgundy Tasting (Vin Chicago - Highland Park IL): Tasting, brief note. Ripe red cherry and plum along with background savory spice. Good textures and good+ balance with some sneaky structure helping with backbone and length. Good now through an other decade+.
