Annual holiday dinner with DC winos: fabulous wines kick off 2016! (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): Part of a flight of three Burgundies that included a glorious 1966... Anyway, this was the weakest of the bunch but that takes nothing away from its deliciousness. There was a fresh wet earth aspect to this, like a forest after a rainfall, notes of mushrooms and even tobacco leaf, as well as baked red fruit. The only caveat is that the competition made this seem slightly too low key and a bit diluted by comparison. But, hey, a fine bottle of 30 year old premier cru Burgundy.
