(Mostly) Burgundy Dinner with Friends (Republique - Los Angeles CA): Served double blind. Came across clearly as great Grand Cru Burgundy from a ripe vintage. Complex combination of red and black cherry with earth, mushroom and savory spice. Elegant and powerful at the same time, with a long, expanding, umami finish. I thought it from Gevrey (Ruchottes or Griotte) 1989. Absolutely fantastic, this was the clear Wine of the Night.

Supremely elegant nose, clean and pretty with just the right hint of smoky meaty notes and a touch of a soapy aroma. A classic Richebourg, in an elegant style.

Classic, Grivot. Young, serious, rich, precise red/black fruits. Made you come to it rather than offering its charms easily. Just as captivating as the rousseau chambertin but in a completely different, more aloof, reserved manner. A wine to sit and contemplate for hours.

Boxing Day wines at Domaine: A tad bit dirty and funky so the Vosne fruit struggled to shine on the nose. Better purity on the palate. Just ok.
