The Grand Finale: The Last Plum Tasting & Wine Sale (Chicago, IL): Somewhat advanced for what it should be; this showed a lot of earthiness and more delicate red fruit on the nose. I don't think that this has the weight and depth of a grand cru wine. The palate seems surprisingly resolved, with tannins that are just barely present. In hindsight, I'm not sure if this is an entirely representative bottle. That said, it's still quite drinkable.

Clos Vougeot horizontal: 33 wines from the 2013 vintage (Fine+Rare Wine London): This is very charming on the aromatics. Floral and red fruit driven. The palate is medium bodied for a grand cru, with a finish that is somewhat dilute. And yet, the pleasure is there, the red fruit charm is fun. I had never heard of this property before and was rather impressed by the showing.

This is fairly red-fruited and delicate, this was tasty enough but didn't quite make a grand cru impression. A bit rustic.
