Wine tasting at Janet's (Chicago, IL): Dense, black, and quite powerful. Smoky nose, and much less subtle and earthy than I remember it being. Needs some time for the tannins to unwind.

Specs-Houston - Burgundy 2005 (D'Alliance Francaise de Houston): This was my second wine of the night. There are lots going on the nose here. I got a spicey character along with the sweet cherries. The backend was structured and tight. This wine has many years of improvement to look forward. Really enjoyed this one.

Dense cassis fruit nose with a hint of sulfur charge mixed in. Palate is rich with a nice balance. 8 1/2
