  Dark florals mostly covered in sweet red earth and partially ripe strawberries. Felt in between a chambertin and chambolle but I tot it to be a Charmes or chapelle. When u get
  Mixed characteristic, clos vougeot seems the correct answer.

  Dark fruits, flowers, orange peel, earth and perfume on the nose. Rich lush dark fruits, strong tannins, and finishes with some green and bitterness.

  Brian's Housewarming (Moonbeam View): How very unusual indeed. Two Grand Cru Burgs from equally obscure producers. This was not quite as good as the Musigny that preceded it, but it was a very decent drink. It had a sweet flowery nose, think rose petals and violets, and then some metally mineral, a bit of black tea and a whiff of sour cherries - very attractive. There was a weighty palate following that, with rich dark fruit twirled around a layer of fine but still firm tannins. Fresh acidity carried it into a satisfyingly round finish where the ripe fruit mingled with a touch of bramble. Not the most complex or refined, but a nice wine to drink. It will probably improve a little with time as it integrates more and softens around the edges too. We all thought it was clearly a Cote de Nuits, but none of us could pick out where in the Cote it came from except for William, who unhesitatingly called it a Clos Vougeot. Lesson learnt once more - if it is a red Grand Cru that it impossible to pick out, chances are that it is either a Corton, an Echezeaux or a Clos Vougeot.
