    I was a bit worried to open one of these, especially after reading the less than positive reviews.

    The nose after opening was clear of any stink or taint and instead had a shut-down 2006 quiet cherry note. The reserved nose is followed by a very tannic but bright cherry and acid mouthful.

    This vintage is shut down for the moment.

    I don't sense any of the flaws mentioned (and ones I have experienced with other 2006 bottlings) in the bottle I opened.

    Given the fierce tannins, I would recommend waiting 3-5 years before opening this out of 750ml again.

    There might be hope for this vintage....

    Opened last night. Strong burnt rubber and prune mix on nose, but relatively clean in mouth. Fruit is bright and clear - cherry and raspberry.
    Decided to hold for 2nd night at 55 degrees.
    Second night: Strange nose has blown off and now resides in back of the glass. Oak has provided structure but isn't overwhelming (I am very sensitive to oak), fruit is still bright and fresh and finish lasts 20-30 secs.

    I am very pleased with where this bottle went with 24 hours. I have 4 bottles and plan to open the next in 1-2 years.

  • 2005 Dominique Laurent Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Les Cazetiers Vieilles Vignes

    Has what I have experienced as a "2005 nose" with round, plum, dark-fruit traits - has some potentially off-putting "grape soda" notes to its nose. It is still tannic but very approachable, more dark fruit on front pallet with some brightness and medium acidity. Dare I say it has almost a California Cab like element to it but still very Burgundy in delivery and nature. Mouth coating tannins help hold a 30+ sec finish. Great buy for the Premiercru.net $40/bottle buy back in 2009 (?). It might lack the "elegance" some look from Burgundy but at its price level it is a great bottle.
