Saturday, February 9, 2008 - 2005 Burgundy Overachievers Tasting (Vineyardgate): Dark ruby, lightening at the rim. Nose of sweet, ripe cherry concentrate, and some toasty oak. There is also a volatile, essential oil-like aromatic red-fruit component that is alternatingly sweet and bitter, quite fascinating. This wine is just flat-out aromatic, a little like simultaneously smelling a freshly-baked cherry pie, but also all parts of the fresh cherry: the fruit, the pit, the stem. Reluctantly i lifted my nose from the glass and finally tasted. Rich, concentrated red fruit flavors, with good acidity and some well-integrated oak spice. Luxuriously full, sappy midpalate, and a long, sweet fruit finish with some oak tones. Really great depth overall.
