  2008 or Older (Tilia): This was a gorgeous fully mature red Burgundy. Pleasant wet, high minerality, with crisp cherry.

  Monthly Tasting Group: Old Reds 2008 and Earlier (Tilia, Mpls): Medium red color. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Wow, just a gorgeously perfumed nose of rose petals, pretty red fruits, mushroom, a touch of funk and pencil. The palate is lifted and showing excellent poise and focus, the red berries are complimented by a distinct minerality with an iron focus. There's also a red cherry note on this deep and silky textured medium bodied gem. This has such purity along with the florals, it is simply mesmerizing. A pencil lead streak emerges about 30 minutes in to give even more complexity to the silky texture. This was a great bottle and clear WOTN. 94+ to 95pts.

  If you cannot remember why one goes to Burgundy for the ultimate refined elegance, buy a bottle if you can. The 1999 never screams--in fact, it is soft and muted.But the warm, pure expression of pinot and burgundian soil is unmistakeable. The score reflects the fact that the complexity is modest, but certainly not lacking in either form nor elegance. A slightly smoky, light cherry, somewhat perfumed, wet earth, wet wood nose gives way to a fully ready bottle that shows its power and finesse through understatement rather than defined expression. Full foresty overtones accompanying the medium cherry, pale garnet and almost amber color, and an abundance of smoke, earth, wood and old floral scents. An interesting contrast to the l'Arlot 2000 consumed recently--the latter more vibrant and complete, but still both being worthwhile experiences one does not want to miss.
