Burgundy Dinner with the Chevaliers du Tastevin (The Old Inn On The Green, New Marlborough, MA.): [Opened at 4pm. Served about 6pm.] Mature garnet color with onion skin edge. From the color, I would think this was much older than 2008. Many thought it was OTH, but I thought it was at its peak. Sweet nose of forest floor with hints of nutmeg and brown sugar. Mature, elegant, complex. Perfect match to the chicken and hen of the woods dish. If these bottles are representative, drink up!

Had to open a bottle for Bastille Day. Well balanced and integrated mid-weight Pinot, with notes of ripe cherry, berry and herb. A bit short on the finish, but a treat with diverse selection of dishes at local bistro. Should smooth out a bit next 5-7 years.

Does it get any better than Grand Cru Burg.? This was a surprise to me how great this wine showed tonight. It is drinking great now and is full of rich nobility. Black cherry, with red strawberry jam with a lovely fragrance of truffles, mineral, and damp mossy soil. Everything I love about Burgundy! A touch of heat on the finish tells me that it still needs a few more years. Nevertheless, if I had more, I wouldn't have the strength to wait on it. This was wonderfully paired with a combo dish of Duck Confit and Breast over a smoked white bean cassoulet. Our 2nd night in Vancouver didn't disappoint.

Wonderful! Perfect balance of earthiness and fruit. The wine has hit its stride and in my opinion is it will continue to do so for some time.
