Saturday Afternoon Burgundies (Washington, DC): Very dark wine with ripe cherries, strawberries, and fungus on the nose. Clearly a child of the hot 2003 vintage as the fruit is very lush and forward. Still has wonderful complexity and length. Not sure how long this wine will last, but it's an enjoyable Burgundy.

Knock out nose - vioilets, grape candy, blackberry liquer. Wow. Could keep sniffing and sniffing this one. Mouth - good initial flavor but touch weak on the midpalate and finish. Distant hints of astonishing elegance.

Dark-fruited, spicy, smoky nose. Atypical but quite nice. The palate is Rhone-like and slightly stewed. This wine gives the impression of holding something in reserve.
