Tuesday, February 7, 2012 - WineFanatic Grand Cru Burgundy Offline (Vancouver, BC): Tasted blind – This was slightly darker than the ’00 Boillot—medium yellow. Quite a difference coming from the Boillot to this as this wine was very tight on the nose and clean of any sulfur. After some time in the glass and vigorous swirling the nose starting opening a bit giving notes of coconut, tropical fruits and floral. Richer and weightier in the mouth but with good acidity and freshness that made this seem more youthful than the Boillot. This, just like the Boillot, could use more time and based on this bottle, will improve with another 3-5 years in the cellar. While the Boillot seemed to have more complexity going on (especially on the nose), this offered perhaps a bit more generosity and richness and in the mouth so it’s really hard to pick a favorite...but on this night, I’d give a slight nod to the Boillot. Excellent. 91+
