France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru
(2/28/2012)
Beautiful medium cherry, sleek and lithe, excellent structure, good finish. Tasted in the context of a wide range of 2009 wines, this stands apart, not necessarily "better", but distinctly different.

Deep, rich, dark cherry, mouth watering, long finish. Just sensational. Hard to know how this will age long term, not sure I want to find you, this is so yummy.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru
(2/29/2012)
Warm, rich, medium ripe, medium cherry, soft and very drinkable, has a slightly diluted character that in California might make me think this was watered back.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Griotte-Chambertin Grand Cru
(2/29/2012)
Rich and forward, nice balance, medium cherry, rich finish. Big and modern, very enjoyable if missing some complexity and structure, though I wouldn't want to bet on aging potential.
