Friday Night... Great Burgundy Night (Asian Spice House - Buchanan MI): Nicely floral and spiced with good+ weight for Village level wine, but this shows some of the bitter distraction I find too common in 2011s. Otherwise actually very good, but not even close to the quality of the 2011 Cras in the next glass.

Acker April 2019 (Marea in NYC): More earthy style of burgundy. Still has a bit of red fruit, but it's covered up more than the Rousseaus were. Very fine finish which almost reminded me of super fine sand particles right at the end.

Still young with fresh wood notes on both the nose and palate. Palate dominated by sweet fruit, particularly on the finish. This should develop further and point of upside if it gain more depth with bottle age. 91-92

Very nice if a bit restrained.
