  Nine red 2006 Burgs (Noize): Slightly subdued on the nose, and slightly austere overall, though the sense of balance and completeness was unmissable. Ample delightful red fruit, a bit grippy, plenty there but another few years required before it fully reveals itself.

  2006 Burgundy with a few additions (Noizé, London): Even darker fruit than the Gouges here. Almost Nebbiolo like liquorice character; Faiveleys of this era are famously backward. Lots of swirling coaxes a bit more from the glass, definitely a very serious wine here. Will be better in 10(20?) years but still enjoyable tonight notwithstanding its "youth".

  @ Manhatta NYC. Big whiffs of barnyard took a few minutes to blow off. Lots of bright fruits initially but faded fairly quickly. Dusty, fine and integrated tannins. Dry finish. This is on the decline or never got to a sweet spot in the first place.

  Fragrant nose of cherries, medium to lighter body with strong tannins, and a lengthy finish. Very tasty but as said previously, the fruit fails to match the tannin.

  Out of the bottle closed and tannic. After an hour of decanting started to open up a bit. Good tannic and acid balance though fruit and nose are somewhat absent... eventually a hint of blueberry appears, with a bit of vanilla, while enjoying the last of this somewhat retiring bottle.
