Revisited after scoring a lot from K&L auction... The nose are not very expressive. Highly acidic, probably aggressively tart, with mostly sour cherry. On the palate, very smooth tannin, tart, finish is medium. I smelled some funk on the nose, not sure if it is slightly corked. Overall disappointing.

Vinetasters: (mostly) 2010 Burgundy (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Slight rubber on the nose. Bright fruit, with a tart, juicy sour cherry bent. High acidity, with elegance and again the tart, acid-driven fruit on the palate. Lighter texture, with again some strawberry notes making this more Oregon in my mind than Burgundy. High enough acidity that this feels almost a little tart. My 5th, group's 9th.

Decanted 1 hour. Dark garnet, clearing at rim. Violets and raspberry bouquet. Palate is medium to high toned acidity with dark cherry and raspberry notes. Medium to rather big bodied, with a strong spine of acidity lending considerable length and vibrancy. Fine tannins provide some additional complexity and just a bit of bite.
Polished and rather more muscular than I had expected. This was excellent. I'd not expect this to improve and it should continue drinking well for at least 5 more years.

Served blind, a little bit more advanced than expected, probably storage issue. Sour red fruit, lots of earthy notes and minerality.
