  September 25, 2021 - Getting underrated here, but probably because it will be long lived and is just starting to show it's stuff. A lot of complexity, focused on dark black fruit with stems and herbs. Aristocratic and intense. The palate has a lot of structure and density but is very smooth. Tasted in a a single blind flight of Arnoux Lachaux including his Vosne Village, Haut Maizières, Chaumes, and Suchots, this was the winner by a smidgeon over the Suchots. With the other 4 all being Vosne wines, this stood out a bit as darker, broodier, and more dense. I thought it was the Suchots though because of that darkness, but this showed even deeper and darker than that wine. Showed the most oak too, which perhaps should have tipped me off as being the Grand Cru of the pack.

  July 14, 2017 - 2012 Blind Pinot Introspective Retrospective (Chicago, IL): Tasted single blind. Deep, dark garnet -- one of the darkest colored wines. A big, rich nose of black cherries with some meat and spice. Wow, loads of concentration and a cross-section of red and black cherry. The size and scale had me convinced this was the Bonnes Mares. 3 votes for GC and 3 votes for 1er Cru -- so another wine that clearly showed old world. My #5, Group's #7.

  July 14, 2017 - Chicago Wine Flock...Rich Tests Our Pinot Noir Chops (House of Nanda - Chicago IL): Tasted single blind. Easily the wine that confounded me the most tonight. Best nose of the lineup - sweet and savory spice, Black fruit and floral hints. Flavors just came across as shallow and almost manipulated. This didn't seem like Burgundy to me at all. Clearly a cold soak was used here that extracted great aromas and color, but maybe this is just otherwise shut down. Group was divided on this wine. I wouldn't open a bottle for another decade+.
