Friendsgiving Burgundy Dinner (Scottsdale, AZ): Ripe and flamboyant and had me asking myself why drink Burgundy if it tastes like California? To be fair, this is 05. Let me emphasize: OOOO FIIIIVE
Served blind the guesses were comically all over the map. Speaks to the lack of terroir which is due to the youthfulness, the producer, or some combination thereof.
I may be too harsh on this, it followed some absolutely stellar and classic Burgundy. I suspect we won't really know what this wine is about for at least a decade.

Powerful and lifted nose - strawberry, raspberry blackcurrant and smoky meat. Rasping acidity on the palate with a huge amount of potential. Give it plenty of time.

(Lucien Le Moine Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru Les Amoureuses) Medium cherry red color; lime and tart red fruit nose; tight but good ripe cranberry, cherry, black cherry and rosehips palate, a little arched and cramped right now; medium finish
