  Jake Palace Birthday Celebration: Decanted for 3 hours in Voss. Beautiful bouquet with pure red fruit, sage, spice and cherries. Palate resonating with silky elegance, candied cherries and violets. Aromatics improved in spades through the night with good density and textures on the palate. Beautiful structure with perfumed layers of fruit. Some greenness but wasnt perturbing.

  Pronounced nose intensity with notes of green, incense, red fruits. Medium+ acidity and medium+ tannin. Tannin is slight grippy.

  Popped, and had it stood for almost 2+hrs before we eventually poured this for the last flight of the evening. Beautiful aromatics from the get-go, which eventually blossomed even more through the night. This was red-fruited (w/ a tinge of blue) with good concentration, beautifully textured with some spice (which led some to guess it as a Vosne) & buffered with nice minerality & freshness. None guessed this as a '11 - just plain delicious!

  Felix's birthday celebration: Guessed RSV with the aristocratic nature and silky elegance, together with some spicy red fruit. However I was off by more than 15 years for the vintage - as usual Bertheau presented more advanced than expected. Nevertheless this was very lovely and showed that off-vintages are better for early pleasure. No greenness.

  Opened several hours ahead, then decanted as we drunk it over several hours to help it open.
  
  Drunk alongside the '11 Bonnes Mares
  
  A lifted, lovely, red fruited nose with flowers, a little loam, and then there were the green meanies. On the palate, it's seemingly light to mid weighted, but intense, with "push you over with a feather" power. Graceful and filigree fine with a cashmere like softness on the palate with more rose, cherry fruit, and sadly distracting green notes. It's lithe and playful, understated, fleeting, and graceful; and if it were not for the green meanies, this would have been fantastic. Still outstanding and then some, but it could have been marvelous. 92
