"Tits and Boobies" (Chicago, IL): Very, very good. It's certainly a chunky, big wine with plenty of weight. No reduction or overt oak either, though this showed a fair bit riper than the Roulot alongside. Initially, I preferred this wine, but with more air, I feel like the Roulot picked up more gravitas. This was more exuberant and expressive from the get-go, and it stayed that way over the course of the night.

Dinner at Jade Court (Chicago, IL): I liked, but didn't love this wine. It's certainly of a particular style, and it's not one I generally enjoy in white Burgundy. The nose is fleshy and large-scaled, with a generous amount of fat throughout. Nonetheless, there is a moderate hit of acidity on the palate to go with the riper fruit and hints of sweetness. One other remark here -- I found that the reduction seemed to be dialed back, which was actually quite pleasant. As I quipped, the combination of producer, vineyard, and year make this one of the fattest of the fat (CA "chardonnay" doesn't count).

Golden color. Buttery, smooth, hints of lemon, low acid but enough to hold it together. Drink now and enjoy.
