July 14, 2016 - Red Burgundy at The Bristol (Chicago, IL): Served blind, but it was known this was (red) Burgundy. Based on the red fruit of the nose, I guessed 2001 or 1996 Chambolle or Morey. The palate wasn't too dense either, so I figured it was a good 1er cru. The oft-repeated refrain that the Laurent wines are plagued with oak doesn't seem to be true, at least with this bottle. If there was a point in time when there was 200% new oak in this wine, it has since been absorbed. To be honest, I was quite impressed by how well this showed, especially for a vintage I consider a bit mean and unpleasant. There's quite a bit of lovely red fruit on the nose and palate which belies the vintage, though that racy acidic character is still very prominent. A real surprise. I guess that's why we try some wines blind.
