10+ Year Old Frenchies (Bistro Dre, Chicago, IL): Full, bold nose of red and black cherry fruit with a strong spice note. Round and generous yet elegant in the mouth. Cherries, spice, earth and pine notes. Long and flavorful. Terrific showing. Served blind with 1er Cru Burgs and all thought this was Burg. Amazing that it was so generous with great fruit and <13% alcohol.

Full, focused nose of sour cherry, dried herbs, pine and cardamom. Palate has medium bodied and racy red fruit. Buoyant and vibrant with plenty of acid. Bright mid palate and solid finish. Not the most complex but echos the nose with an array of mature, pinot flavors. 12.8% alcohol. A delightful wine, with plenty of fruit and energy to age.

Bright fruited and fresh. Showing a few signs of age but in just a nice spot. Good acidity with cherry notes. Very nice.
