  2002 Burgundy, round 2 (Noize): Big - especially compared to the Tessons - and exciting. Notes of sea shell and, oddly, fresh bread, and popcorn on the finish, but this wine was more about texture and a seamless whole than aroma or flavour. Ample and deep, super balance, and really, really long, though with time in the glass the wine actually seemed to fall off a little, hence not getting an even higher score. Still my clear WOTN though, and I suspect the table's too.

  Popped and poured. Slightly oxidized, but still had a fairly nice palate and lengthy finish. Not much nose. Dark gold in color. Happy it was the last bottle.

  Just okay and showing a bit tired and advanced. Still had some fruit and it's not totally over the hill, but not what it should be.

  Dinner at Nico Osteria (Chicago, IL): The colour from the bottle alone was already a little touch advanced so I had a little bit of worry. Indeed, it's a little more caramelly and browned than I would like, but I wouldn't go so far as to call in premoxed. It's definitely not the freshest bottle I've had. The palate is there, but it doesn't have that intensity and power that you would expect from a grand cru. There isn't that intensity and extract, nor the long-enough finish. Nonetheless, a good drink, but in really, really tough competition tonight.

  Gave it about an hour of air. Very nice over the hour following.
