Kevin Restaurant, Chicago IL
Tasted Monday, July 17, 2006 by Burgundy Al with 524 views
The Chicago Burgundy tasting group (the Lieu-dit Cru) got together last night at the restaurant Kevin. Our theme was Grand Cru and high-end 1er Cru from Vosne-Romanee, and we had a nice 26-year range of vintages. All wines were tasted blind.
Once again the food at Kevin worked nicely with our Burgundies. Big eye tuna was great with the whites, and everything worked well with the reds. A good time was had by all.

Tasted blind. This won’t be getting any better. Lean fruit, wine shows a bit too much oak and alcohol. Definitely a modern style wine. Short finish. Clearly not damaged like some other mid-90’s white Burgundies, but nobody was racing out to buy this wine.

Tasted blind. Richer and more dense than the first wine, clearly a better wine. Slight signs of fat buttery flavors along with good fruit, perhaps grapefruit. OK minerality, OK acidity, moderate finish. Probably not one to age much longer either.
