  @ Noreetuh NYC. Secondary florals and faded roses on the nose. Palate is somewhere between fresh and jammy fruits, big and full mouthfeel, tannins undetectable at this stage, goes down with a nice extended finish. Think this definitely outperforms the vintage and the broader vineyard, being located across from La Tache and Malconsorts Christiane, hence a more classic VR character. Agree with other notes that this is something to start drinking up.

  Acker "Paulee" Burgundy Dinner (Capital Seafood - Beverly Hills CA): Paulée style dinner. On the underripe side with good weight but also losing energy. Time to drink up.

  My first Chaumes from CLB, a rare bird at around 550 bottles produced in this vintage. Louis-Michel consistently avoided any green issues in 2011 and his wines are all a success relativeley speaking for the vintage and no exception here. However, clearly 11 is the weakest vintage for him between 05-now due to the growing season and the lack of stuffing is apparent but the wine still showed a very well made Vosne that cruised more at village level than 1er cru level (Chaumes isn't known to be a stronger vosne 1er and I think the Colombiere 11 and Clos Chateau 11 are probably as good to better wines with Reignots 11 being clearly better). Fun to drink still! I would probably drink those sooner rather than later as my concern is you will loose the fruit that's there.

  Nose: bubble gum, spices
  Notes: The nose was quite intense but the palate was flat. Did not improve with more breathing. Price of this wine is a pure joke, whilst I can understand that Chaumes is indeed a troubled premier cru with subpar quality comparing to other 1er crus in Vosne Romanee, but given the reputation of Liger Belair and the price tag attached to this wine, it is hard not to disappoint.

  Cool, pure and airy notes and red, blue fruit and spice. Touch of alcohol poking through on the nose--evident in the Zalto but not the Riedel. Sleek and well integrated. Less obvious than many other LB wines, but there is a lot under the hood. Will be interested to see how it evolves.
