Vinetasters: (mostly) 2010 Burgundy (Park Ridge, IL): Served double blind. Funky and earthy, and kind of thinning out. Oddly dirty in the context of most other wines tonight, and I thought this might have been some sort of ringer. More structure and potentially more age? Confected, sweet fruit on the nose, with a strawberry jam note. My 10th, group's 11th.

Forest floor, cherry, strawberry, rosa canina, cinnamon, and barnyard. Elegantly structured, with mouthwatering acidity and finegrained tannins that are still not completely dissolved. Creamy texture after aeration. Reaching its peak now, I guess, and will remain at this level for 5 more years and drink well for 10 more years.

Une teinte à la hauteur du nez: claire, pale, élégante, voilà un pinot de 11 ans d'age et pourtant d'une brillance juvénile. Les parfums sont très floraux, éthérés, quelle classe! Par contre en bouche, la jeunesse l'emporte: serré, acidulé, presque dur, il est encore ferme et peu charmeur, tout l'inverse du nez. Les parfums d'un Chambolle, la structure d'un Nuits St G. de grande garde.

Similar to my last note, but more closed and less layered. This bottle was a bit cooler than the last, which might fully or partially explain this, so I’ll reserve judgement on the bottle variation question until next time.

Completely in line with BOXERBEE‘s description, I would only assume some further development and an even longer life, 93+.
