Just a phenomenal bottle of wine that at this stage is about elegance, subtle complexity, grand cru depth and length. Couldn’t ask for more. This is why I love Burgundy.

Surprising color and fruit given very low fill. Savory nose, which is not my favorite, but very rich, black fruit on palate. Slightly medicinal finish, not unpleasant.

Volatile and porty with some sign of black fruits but dominated by oxidative characters. Light, dull and nutty with primarily sherry style notes clearly not a good bottle.

Dinner at Bern's. Well the bottle was a gamble. We didn't know what the vintage or the vineyard was as the label was completely gone and the mag had all kinds of dried dirt on it. We figured what the hell though, it IS a DRC. Well when the somm pulled the cork, woohoo, it was a 59. Now of course we had to figure out what 59 it was. We all came to the same conclusion. RSV, no doubt. So much spice and lush, dense fruit. This was really amazing. Truly a monumental wine that could have lived on for decades. This is what wine is all about, being able to experience something like this with great people!!!!!
