Chapelle-Chambertin Dinner with the Lieu-dit Cru (The Bristol - Chicago IL): Open 2 hours before serving, then tasted single blind in flight. Mature red berry start-to-finish, this does not have the concentration or intensity of the 1993, but had absolute rockstar balance and harmony. Beautifully persistent.

Wine Tasted at Acker Auction (Marea - New York NY): Seemed very reductive to start, so this got a quick decant which really helped. Meaty flavors with black fruit and an overall sauvage character with black pepper and dried thyme. Good length.

Highly powerful and exctracted nose didn't seem particularly burgundian. Also very powerful and concentrated on the palate tasted something like cherry cough syrup. I can't say that this isn't a high quality wine(plenty of fruit and structure) but it isn't for me.
