This was an excellent bottle. Really clean and clear cork, translating beautifully into the wine. Medium ruby color. Perfumed nose of red fruits and fresh cut savory herbs. The wine gained complexity over the past few hours with air. Nice mouthfeel & medium finish. Not a blockbuster but oh so elegant. Tasty & complete. Drink now through 2030 if well stored and provenanced.

Stored in cold cellar since release. Excellent colour. Subdued bouquet. Medium to full bodied. Quite intense with good balance and acidity. Seemed to lack finesse expected from Vosne-Romanee.A good ten years ahead but do not see much development. Reminded of a top New Zealand pinot noir!!

Raspberry, strawberry, black cherry, sous bois; well-developed, smooth, linear, velvety, balanced, poised, slightly tart and acidic, not overly interesting but still very good indeed

Ruby color. Nose of raspberry, violets, anise. Wild berry and plum on the palate with some oak notes and spice. A bit dilute. Moderate acidity and firm tannin. Medium length finish of crushed red berry fruit and bits of vanilla.
Typical cherry undeveloped colour and not much nose , did not decant so hadn’t opened up Still not showing secondary so a bit of a disappointment but mainly because I opened too soon and didn’t decant

High toned fruit in the red spectrum. Fragrant on opening. Good structure, typical 2006, which shows lovely bouquet but not the flesh of a warmer year. Nice wine for Burg purists (like me?). 92-93

This was just ok, unfortunately not to the level of my expectations. Light in weight with some nice Vosne spice and minty notes. Elegant in style. Was hoping for more stuffing.

Saturday lunch at Jade Palace with KG (Jade Palace, Forum Galleria): There have been rather mixed reviews on this wine, but drank blind, I thought it was excellent. There was a very complex nose here, with a touch of herby stems acting as an entry into a panoply of dried rose petals and toasty spice, earth and meat, and deep aromas of dark cherries and plums – quite a few of us guessed Vosne on that nose alone. Great palate too. This had a lovely depth of sappy red fruit, with red plums and crunchy dark cherries, then a waft of flowery perfume. I loved the purity on this, as well as the complex little notes of herb and wood spice trailing behind into an elegant finish built on slightly powdery tannins and well-integrated acidity in the background. While the wine did show some flesh, I thought it was rather spare and elegant for a 2006, showing good punchy structure and lots of energy. In fact, while this may not have the power of the best examples, it was a particular elegant expression of Suchots. Delicious stuff. Enjoyable in its relative youth, and should continue to drink well over the next decade. Like Alex H, I really liked the style of the wine.

Interesting wines on choucroute night at Sarah's. (Sarah's.): A bit demure, but I'm not convinced that it's due to youth rather than just a lack of substance. It has pleasant cherry flavors and aromas with a little bit of spice, but it's a bit unfocused and loose in the middle and the acidity needs a bit more flesh to balance it out. Perfectly fine, but it doesn't really keep you from looking around to see what wine is next. B/B+.

This was okay, but not more. Beaten by several village wines I have had from the same vintage. After all, this is a premier, but not shoving any particular signs of that. A bit dead, mainly showing harsh acidity, green, tart cherries, and too much wood. Disappointing.

Knightsbridge Holiday Burgundy Sale (Northbrook, IL): Mostly lean red fruit with moderate spice, not really showing the classic Vosne character today. Everything seems in good balance, but without much nuance or complexity.

Very nice Suchots that's already showing a lot of Vosne-Romanée character with its cinnamon-spice inflection to the fruit. There is a rustic muscle to the tannin structure almost more reminiscent of Nuits, but this looks like a candidate to develop very well.

Nice, drinking well. Has that 2006 ripe thing going on, but in a restrained way. I think this will be nice after 3-5 more years, but I would not call it a long-term ager.

Medium to lighter ruby. All spicy, black fruited Pinot right out of the bottle. Then strong mint and evergreen aromas, and finally, back to Pinot with more cherry and licorice. Medium body with enough ripeness and acidity; good penetration and persistence in the mouth. Some stoniness appears at the back end. I thought this was excellent if not flashy. Fairly open right now.

taste: elegant and lovely medium feel with medium/high acidity and chewy tannins with tones of red cherries, red fruits, bits of floral tones, spices and a touch of berries and raspberries
overall: A lovely young wine. Very well balanced with nice aromatics that really show off its vosne quality. The nose is a bit tight and the acidity+tannins are on the heavy end right now, but this could turn into a real stunner with time as all of the components are there

surprisingly good. Fragrant and spicy nose, moderate in size but nicely concentrated fruit and Vosne spice and complexity, very stylish with good balance and spicy finish. Despite its youth, it was ready to go after being open an hour or two. Revisit in 5 years.

Knightsbridge Burgundy Tasting (Knightsbridge Wine Shop (IL)): Wine 4--- Floral and perfumed nose (at this point I noted that none of the wines thus far had really had an explosive nose). Full mid-palate; tight, not showing a ton of fruit. Long finish; needs time. That said, second taste showed a lot of flavor. Very good.

Rich nose of baked cherries. The earthiness has a darker, more mushroomy funk to it. Sweet cherry on the palate. Tannins and acidity are well balanced. Do get a touch of heat on finish along with some drying oak tannins.

Jadot 2006 at Brad Weiss's House: Beautiful nose exuding red and black fruit, spice, smoke, tobacco and brown sugar. Equally nice on the palate with expansive flavors and excellent balance. Much better than the Clos Vougeot.

Sweet rose petals with gingseng roots and stemmy red currants. A little chambolle action and might be a lil charmbertin too. This style I like.
