Tasted 07/08 Reignots and Suchots side-by-side. Beautiful nose with asian spices, underwood, cherry, and wild strawberry. Good acidity on the palate with lovely flavors of forest, mushrooms, savory, and more strawberry. Nice finish. A lovely wine, probably the most complex and showy. Slightly behind the 2008 Reignots for me, which had a bit more depth and intensity.

whoa sexy , expansive and stunning nose, amazing asian spice that burst out of the glass, hello!. some discussion if there could be Brett, but my simplistic palate thinks not.lovely palate of sophisticated red fruit withe fine grained tannins , with a lot of similarity, palatewise, to the '08. but here the nose is a whole order of magnitude more impressive.

(Arnoux Robert Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots) Weight, but not so much aromatic depth - faint spice over nice fruit. Very good fruit on the tongue that just about balances plenty of ripe tannin. Lovely mid-palate flavours. The finish is a shade oaky, but that will fade. Very, very good.

The Roots Fund Charity Wine Dinner (Atelier - Chicago IL): Late night taste. Spiced red and black cherry with good volume and complexity, but not at the level of this in most vintages. A wine that has never thrilled me.

The Roots Fund - Chicago Fundraising Dinner (Atelier - Chicago, IL): Magnum. A fun vintage of this wine with flashy, spice filled black cherry. Drinking well now, if a little reserved at first.

Seventeenth Annual White Truffle Dinner (Hughes House - Chicago IL): Late night pop-and-pour. OK, this wasn't nearly as powerful or exciting as either the 2002 of 2008, but lots here in a more subtle, elegant combination.
