Gorgeous. Quite expressive; vibrant nose. Penetrating fruit leaning more towards the red side of the spectrum. Good acidity. A stand-out. $99 full retail.

$100 full retail. Black fruit. Coffee. Dense, deep, brooding. Great texture. Wow.

$30 retail, after discount. Showed really well as a ringer in a Grand Cru line up... Black fruit, tar, tobacco. Thick, earthy. Excellent.

$80 full retail. A bit muted. Some herbal notes; black fruit; spice; minty. Not showing very well in this line up of '02s... Hmmm.

No formal note. Did not show very well in a line up of Grands Crus... Lightest wine in the flight.

Did not show well today - perhaps an off bottle? There was prominent horse aroma that was not too flattering for the wine... I'll assume this was an off bottle...

$60 retail, after discount. Excellent. Dark cherry fruit; cola. Good acid / tannin structure. A stand-out.

$60 retail, after discount. Very nice. Nice balance and mouth feel. Bright red / black cherry fruit. Currently showing more fruit than Chevillon's '02 Pruliers, which is a little tighter, but probably has better long term potential...

$60 full retail. A nice surprise. Dark, pure fruit. Fairly serious structure. Well balanced.

Nice. Dark fruit. A bit tight on the nose. Meaty. Moderately oaky, but I think it will integrate fairly well with time in the bottle...

The texture was more elegant / suave than I would have expected. In fact, single blind, I though this was the '02 de Montille Volnay Taillepieds for sure... Bright red fruit; subtle spices. Lush. More open than the Volnay Taillepieds, but still quite primary and begging for some time in the bottle...

Tasted next to the Pommard Pezerolles '02 in a line up of '02 red Burgs... Surprisingly, the Pezerolles was much more open / expressive right now (see TN). The Taillepieds was tighter on the nose and showed more tannin / acid than the Pommard. Med bodied; red fruit. This one really needs to settle in, and I am optimistic about its potential...

$90 retail, after discount. HUGE wine. Big, black fruit; coffee; cola; cocoa; oak. This is a monster of a wine that will be a source of great debate among Burgundy drinkers (it was today...). Not what you would expect, that's for sure. This drinks almost like a super extracted new world Pinot, but it seems to have decent underlying structure... I will be interested to see what happens to this wine in time...

Did not show well tonight. A bit raisiny. Fruit not as fresh as it might have been. Not a good showing...

$35 full retail. Impressive. Big, juicy, blackish fruit on the nose. A little spice. A bit primary at present, but still showed very well in an '02 line up today. Solid value, with good med term cellaring potential. A nice surprise.

$34 full retail. Very nice. Ripe red / raspberry fruit. Good balance. Nice high notes. Good value.

$40 full retail. A little oak on the nose. Spice. Dark fruit. Good acidity. Fairly serious wine. Showed very well in today's '02 line up... Good value, overall.

High pitched red fruit. Fairly light. Seemed to fall apart with air. Did not show very well in a line up of '02s today...

$35 retail. Oaky. Coffee. Black fruit. Not my style. Some thought it was a new world ringer in a line up of '02 Burgs. Definately stood out as very different, stylistically.
