The one with Liz (Home): Showed slightly green but with telling chambolle rose florals with pretty red fruit. Palate not exceedingly complexed, tannins silky, medium acidity but finish shorter than expected. Not too excited with this particular showing.

Decanted for 2 hours. Served blind, I guessed 98 Gevrey. Shows some age on the nose, with mature red cherry and a bit of VA. Lovely core of pure fruit, lively and not four square like many 06s. My favorite wine of the flight.

nose - floral, sour cherry, perfumed mouth - initial impression is that of sour cherry and somewhat simple yet pure fruit. with time some additional complexity evolves all in within the bitter light red fruit spectrum. I preferred this to the '06 Groffier Amoureuses

Floral and mineral. With several hours in the decanter, it's clear this has structure it still needs to resolve. Look forward to seeing how this evolves.

A private dinner hosted by Chris Janselijn, Mattijs Koornneef & Midas van der Meiden (Restaurant The Lobby Fizeaustraat, Hotel V, Amsterdam, NL): Magnum. Fragrant, silky, floral and spicy, supple and energetic, fresh, nervous, depth and freshness, forest floor, grippy tannins, a fine wine, but it does not really deliver the exquisite finesse which Amoureuses is capable of.
