End-of-Summer Dinner Featuring Vega-Sicilia Único (Asador Bastian - Chicago IL): Alongside the Niellon. I haven't had this wine since release and it is so much better now that shortly after bottling. Rich and unctuous with lots here even if not perfectly harmonious right now. Great wine in formation, but better in another few years.

Side-by-side with the Niellon. Both sensational, this the better wine but perhaps not quite as ready/expressive. So much density and concentration of fat fruit with a verve and liveliness at the same time. A monumental Batard that should be even better with a few more years.

Thanks KenK. A spectacular wine from Alex that is just entering its drinking window with so much power, concentration, and richness of orchard fruit with deft balance and a precise, chiseled finish and citrus zest. Fairly classic Batard fatness.

Excellent showing tonight for Rich's Bday and the Bears. Nice fruit weight and beautiful broad mineral driven character with plenty of white orchard fruits. Classic Moreau style. Fresh and vibrant. Bravo Alex!

Monday Night Football and Grand Cru (Chicago, IL): Sappy and sweet, with a fabulous amount of material on the palate, followed by mouthwatering acids. A very complete wine, albeit young. Broad-shouldered with palate-coating extract, this has both the length, depth, and breadth that one ought to expect from a top bottle of white Burgundy.
