  Burgundy For Lunch Bunch Holiday Event 2023 (Phoenix, AZ USA): Served blind, all I could muster to write was "Holy sh*t!!!!" because I was giddy with delight and could hardly focus to write.
  
  An absolute banger, top class Burgundy that managed to edge out mature examples of DRC, Rousseau, and Leroy grand crus on the table.
  
  Wow I wish I had bought more 90's Dujac back when I started in Burgundy, these have turned out to be masterpieces - as was the wine served after it, a mind-blowing 90 CDLR. Words can't do this justice, this is the magic we seek in Burgundy...

  Two wines served blind, one of which I knew to be a Roussseau Chambertin 1993, and this. I thought this more likely to be the Rousseau, more red-fruited, a touch sweeter in the middle. But they were remarkably close both in style and quality. Both dark, silky, subtle, full of life, perhaps not yet at their peak.

  Tasted blind, this wine had a deep red center with tawny rims. The medium+ intensity nose offered up cola, smoked black cherries, minerals, and some forest floor.
  
  This was medium bodied in the mouth with that attractive Dujac mouthfeel. It was well balanced with nice ripeness. While it was not heavy in any way, it had that slightly over-ripe element that many 93 wines display.
  
  This was an excellent bottle. That said, I didn’t get the sense that is was going to be getting any better, which is a slight disappointment for a big-time bottle like this. Drink over the next 10 years.

  Lots of praise being given to this wine, and it is lovely and classic Bonnes Mare with its earthy minerality and beautiful strawberry notes. Interestingly it started to become more tender after exposure to air. Power without weight in a great way!

  Dark spice, dark red cherry, good clarity. Energetic acids here. Nice bottle
