    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambolle-Musigny 1er Cru

    tasted blind
    nose - light strawberry, earth, with time blackberry
    mouth - earthy and dirty fruit, complicated by asparagus stalks as jim put it, revealing a vegetal stemmed quality
    that some even found loire in character, but at the same time grippy and vibrant, with great acidity, showing funk that got more serious with air.
    complex and memorable but not great and certainly not worth the asking price. Gracias to R&G.

  • 2005 Domaine d'Ardhuy Corton-Clos du Roi

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

    nose - dark berry, brooding
    mouth - big wine though somewhat closed, lots of stuffing here but not really
    showing that much today. Hints of dark licorice. Angular per Jim. Big dry tannins.
    A beast. Blah . Needs 10+ years, but no guarantees

  • 2001 Louis Jadot Corton-Grèves

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru

    nose - initially mute but with time red fruit, hints of meat, earthy. nice nose
    mouth - fresh cherry, very clean and pure almost to the point of being mistaken as boring,
    but in the end appreciated for its purity. surprising tannic kick at finish
