Drastic differences when served in Zalto vs unknown Pinot. Vibrant dark fruit aromatics in Zalto, unimaginative stem bomb in Pinot. Palate remained disintegrated either way. Great potential with further cellaring.

Expressive nose displaying dark ripe black fruit, blackberry, dark cherry, dark spices, licorice, rose, sap, grilled cep, a hint of cedar and earth. Excellent concentration, nicely layered sweet black fruit, silky and fluid, medium acidity, earthy mineral, a hint of fine tannins and a long sweet black fruit and cinnamon driven finish. Although enjoyable, it remains quite youthful and only showing a hint of sous bois.

Splendid! Incredible dry rose aroma hidden under berries and flowers. Layers of flavor accompanied by balanced acidity. Just ripe at the right drinking window! Drinking side by side with Leroy Nabantons 2011 and Py Charmes Chambertin 2007. Most delicate among them.

White Truffle Extravaganza (Aria, Atlanta, GA): Dark cherry and spice, quite intense, it really needs more time but it pairs brilliantly with a delicate veal carpaccio with white truffles which tones down the Dujac and brings out more depth.

Zachys La Paulée "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Late night small pour. Sweet spice with red and black cherry. Good+ balance, slightly less density than I typically expect from Dujac Bonnes Mares.
