Vinetasters: (mostly) 2010 Burgundy (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Hint of reduction and some ripeness to the fruit here. Firm structure, mostly driven by relatively hard tannins. High acidity adds to the structure as well. Not as charming and fruit-driven as the other wines, this is a bit angular right now. My 7th, group's 1st.

Beautiful color, a touch of fading. The nose shows aromas of black raspberry, sous bois, flowers, decaying leaves and a hint of spices. This is medium full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and wonderful class. The fairly long finish features integrated tannins and good acid cut.

Progressed in the last 2 years, mix of red but also some black fruit, starting undergrowth (sous-bois) notes. More developed compared to the 2012. Perfectly in the drinking window.

Very good from first taste to last. On open delightful dark red fruit, black cherry, blackberry, hints of raspberry, mineral, earth aka sous bois, underpinnings, floral notes entice. Moderate rich palate, balanced tannin and acid. Evolves with air to bring more mineral and earth along with more prominent blackberry. Remains nicely balanced with good length, clean finish. Excellent on its own before and after dinner of rack of lamb, Oaxaca corn polenta.

Drunk over 2 days: dark cherries, black berries, lots of earth and salt, a complicated year chez Gouges with wines quite reduced, this is still on the young side, but pretty good already.
