Beautiful nose and well aged tertiary flavors. In a good place right now. Shows the acidity and structure for a long drinking window. Just a little too sour. Hope it softens in a few years!

Burgundy and Barolo (Oficine Brera, Los Angeles): Raspberry liqueur aroma, soft in the mouth, this wine is so sultry. It has me thinking downright salacious thoughts. It's showing its age and experience and is very sexy -- I call this wine Stiffler's Mom ;)
It was an incredible treat to have this next to the '93 Clos Vougeot from the same producer. Each on its own was excellent, and side by side they were even better. The concentration it took to follow them along was intense.

(Mugneret Dr Georges Ruchottes-Chambertin) Medium-plus ruby, not much fading. A high toned nose of crushed raspberry and dried cherry together with the faint traces of oak and coffee - just starting to show a meaty note. Really lovely and intense fresh fruit - really nice(!) Lingering acidity and finely grained tannins with just a little creaminess to the finish. Very lovely and still very young - a super wine.

Some Wine Tasted at the Acker La Paulée Auction (Maybourne Hotel - Beverly Hills CA): Tasted at auction, immediately after tasting 2006 and 2007. Charming old Burgundy, this earthy and engaging, but slightly less fully composed compared with the younger vintages. Still very good now.

Great nose, so deep and aromatic, just great aged burgundy. Palate is really sour. 93 for nose

Chez Flint Gevrey dinner, lovely fully mature Burgundy at its apogee. F+ (18).
