Wines at Mike's: Quite a deep gold colour for a '10 but correct on bouquet and palate. On the nose, high toast oak and reductive elements intermingle with notes of iodine, stonefruit, musk and almonds and walnuts ... Not at all floral. On palate, the wine is drinking well now. Serious concentration and fruit weight. Stonefruit, apples and that nutty character. Viscous and powerful. I've had the 2010 Dessus before and I like it, along with most of the other 2010 Girardins that are higher in the hierarchy. Drinking well now. It'd benefit from two or three more years in the cellar.

Citrus, minerals, and stone fruits on the nose. Very ripe citrus fruits on the palate with sharp acidity in the finish. Drinking very well now. Good for at least another 5 years.

A Few Miscellaneous Wines in Burgundy, Outside of Meals and Tastings; 6/23/2015-7/5/2015 (Cote d'Or): Slightly tropical start with plenty of apple and pear on nose and palate. Starts lush and forward, shows more restraint and textural excitement from middle forward. Good now, better in another year or two.
