Leiden in Burgundy January 2013

We had some great days visiting the Burgundy. Nice food, nice wines.

  Typical Vosne wine. Nose dark fruit with Asian spice. Taste dark fruit, concentrated, very fine tannins, long finish. Precise and focused.

  My first Musigny, difficult to rate since I have no comparison. Nose red fruit with complex spicey tones. Taste red and dark fruit, soft tannins, different flavours developing over time. Background very silky and smooth. Complete wine.

  Lovely nose, open, good taste. Had not expected a 2008 village chambolle to be so approachable.

  Mature golden yellow colour, nose walnut and almonds. Taste very smooth and soft, some acidity in the background, melon with some orange. Lovely wine, only negative point is that the finish is a bit short.
