  • It was the most easy 2005 Chambertin we had tonight, along with other dozen bottles in my BD dinner, rich aroma, silky palate and good structure with long after taste. It could be served well now.

  • Double decanted. Very little sediment. Gorgeous rich aromas. Meaty notes with gorgeous powerful darker vibrant fruit core. Beautiful finish and elegant texture after decanting. A+ and appearing very young but quite approachable. This has miles to go but is amazing at this point.

  • Heidi's Redux at local fav STG. CV, BE,KB,DD,LI & JG. What a night! Based on the way this started out on opening at home a few hours before leaving for STG this turned out to evolve perfectly into my ultimate WOTH. I had high hopes for this coming from the highly touted '05 vintage & Gevrey's top Grand Cru Vyd . Even still, out of the gates, it was showing little promise other than not being flawed :). My first thought, oh no another stubborn '05!?!? So I immediately double decanted and slow-oxed till leaving. Fortunately, this wine was just playing w/ me. By the time we got to drinking it at StG it was utterly drop dead gorgeous! The fruit was pristine & delish. and yet there was a sense of layers of forest floor, mineral, spice & other harmonics. Complexity! One of the best experiences I've ever had w/ Grand Cru Burgundy. Delighted it turned out so awesome! A great combo of power & finesse. Only problem, I bought only 1 a few years back. This btl tonight is the Chambertin I've always dreamt of in my head. Massive power, length and intensity balanced by amazing fruit, soil & spice. Probably my best ever btl of Chambertin? 98+

  • Heidi's Gang: Seriously Folks (St. Genevieve, Mpls, MN): Medium dark red color. Double decanted for 30 minutes, then slow ox for 2 hours more. Smokey, scorched earth, black raspberries, cassis and tobacco leaf on the nose. The palate is dense, concentrated, juicy with prominent dark fruits, black cherry, dark berries, focused, tobacco, tar, dried herbs, sous bois, long and powerful yet retaining freshness and elegance. Outstanding.

  • Wonderfully balanced and in great shape! It needed 1-2 hours to really open up and gain weight, but was expressive the entire evening. The nose screamed Chambertin, with bright red fruit (cherry, strawberry), damp earth, licorice and spice. Brown sugar and herbs emerged with time as well. Well balanced, concentrated, complex and intriguing. It was at its best at the 3-4 hour mark, so patience is required to get the best from what it has to offer.
