Jadot (and Clair Dau) Chapelle-Chambertin Dinner with Thibault Gagey (Sepia - Chicago IL): Single blind alongside the CD 1971 Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru Clos du Fonteny, I correctly identified this as the Capelle based on its greater sheer concentration. This was more mature and earthy, yet still very clean and precise. Not quite as complex as the Fonteny but more heft, and this persisted longer in glass.

Annual Jadot Dinner - this time with Thibault Gagey (Sepia - Chicago): Starts out emphasizing its tertiary elements of earth, mulled spices and roasted game. With time the fresh fruit ascends, and this just kept getting more deep, broad and intense. A sensational old Burgundy strutting its stuff in a late peak window.
