Gary Weber wanted to embarrass himself and all of us with a double blind dinner tasting. Everybody had to bring a $100+ bottle of wine and the Sommelier then flighted them together. Points were awarded for correctly identifying grape varietal, country of origin, region commune, vintage and producer.
Since I mostly drink Burgundy when I drink this level of wine, I didn't expect to do well tonight. And while I finished in the bottom half, I would have been near the top if I had made some very, very small corrections in my analysis of the two Burgundies.

I think this was a fairly recent purchase so was surprised how mature it smelled and tasted. Lots of ripe fruit, butterscotch and some hints of sweetness giving a sense of toasted brioche with sweet butter.
