Dinner at Dear Margaret (Chicago, IL): This was definitely better than a sketchy bottle of the Ladoix that I had a few months ago. The nose is made in a bit of that low-interventionalist style, with a beautiful pinot perfume that has some floral tones and plenty of red fruit. The palate doesn't match the intensity of the nose and feels a little weak and dilute. There's a bit of a gap between the attack and finish and the wine doesn't seem to fill out. Air helps, but not enough.

This was still young but with a beautiful nose of black fruits and some florals but clearly still quite close on the palate with some noticible tannins. Great structure and concentration and will require at least 3 or more years before next trying. 92-94 potential

Tasted next to the 2017 Chantereves Damodes. This wine had a gorgeous nose full of fruit, savory notes, and spices. It's deep and complex. The palate has good acidity with tart fruit, cherries, and strawberries, again with a hint of spice. Long finish. Awesome wine that was drinking surprisingly well. Overall, this seems to have a bit more of everything compared to the Chantereves. 94-95+

No formal notes, but it was as fantastic as the bottle from a few weeks ago!
