  January 26, 2013 - Super Tasting 2 of 6 - Maciej does Burgundy (Bosk @ Shangri-La in Toronto, Ontario): Tasted Blind
  Definitely the most evolved of this flight with clove, minerals, sweet fruit…this is totally resolved and ready to drink. The palate shows pure tart fruit spice and cranberry and is mineral driven with a medium+ finish. I thought this was from the 1970s….

  January 26, 2013 - Super Tasting 2 of 6; Maciej Does Burgundy (Bosk, Toronto, Canada): Uncorked approximately 30 minutes before service, served blind. Garnet in the glass, with a heavy brick, moderate sediment; noticeably aged. On the nose, this was quite advanced, but not at all oxidative, showing nice dried cherry, dried pomegranate, earth, decaying leaves, earth, iodine, spent coffee grinds, dried herbs and spice. On the palate, very svelte, light, fully resolved, show just a touch of mild tannin on the moderate length finish. This seemed to be the most mature wine of the evening. In a nice spot, but definitely time to drink up.

  January 26, 2013 - Super Tasting 2 of 6 - Maciej (Bosk Restaurant, Toronto, On): (tasted blind - labelled I) I think it's safe to say this was the surprise of the night, this is the reason we taste blind. A measly 16 year old Bourgogne rouge that for many stole the show. I prefered a few others in the group more than this, but I really liked this wine a lot. Quite mature, many at the table thought it must be from the 80's, but at a very loveable stage of maturity and is truly in a great spot. With air a lovely coffee bean note emerged. Palate has some dusty tannins still in tact. If you have this there is no sense in waiting, it's ready to go and drinking so well!
