Wines tasted during Super Bowl LII (Chez Kailin): Super appealing aromas of Vosne spice and black cherry with some licorice throw in for good measure. The palate is a bit simpler and four square but tasty and appealing none the less. Lip-smacking good and would drink this every day if offered. 90+ point nose, 89 points overall.

Surprisingly dark red for a Vosne Romanee/Burgundy; fruity red nose with some austerity / acidity; rounded and nice with acidity cutting through it all; lean and elegant, some drying tannins; nice lingering deep fruit aftertaste; very good and interesting with ripe deep berries "winning" over the also quite present acidity and tannins

Popped and poured. Perfumed aromas to start with lean red fruit and some exotic spice. Palate is a good combination of lean red cherry and earthy character but without any sense of overly mature fruit, mushroom or barnyard. I'd like to see a bit more 2002 power and ripeness to accompany all the other wonderful components here.

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): Bright red fruit with sweet spice so easy to enjoy. Impressive length for its level.

Chicago Wine Flock..."Various Expressions of Pinot Noir" (My home - Chicago IL): Tasting blind in vertical. Wonderful red fruit with modest spice, but a little new oak seems to protrude. Just starting to evolve, this is at a good place now but I expect will be more interesting in another 5 years.
