BWC 2015 - Lafarge Clos des Chênes (mostly) and a few examples of Vosne Romanée: Opened 90 minutes or so before drinking. Balanced, lovely, harmonious, and with absolutely seamless texture. And yet to me the wine lacked real dimension in aroma and flavor. I liked drinking it but this bottle to me did not justify its elite status.

Thanksgiving dinner w the family (Equinox Restaurant, Washington, DC.): Thanksgiving dinner w the family at Equinox (Washington, DC) - 11/25/10. Nose: Nice but tight nose bright red fruit stemmy, old school. Palate: Very tight. Showing almost nothing. We totally misjudged this - should have opened it the day before. Wasn't able to try it later for a solid formal note. Luckily we have plenty more. From our parcel, this wine needs many many more years to come around. Hold. Judgment deferred.

Jasper Volnay. Sweet aromas and pleasant acidity, but not at 1993/1991/1990/1989 Chenes altitude.

Really good. Dark, earthy, masculine with plenty of weight and power.
