Wines tasted at Zachy's Chicago Watch Party (Formentos): Label bias may tell you this is a second tier CdlR but it is flat-out delicious with grand cru concentration and beaming with potential. Fun and refined now, but will be a very special wine in 2030+

Zachys auction at Formento's (Chicago, IL): Opened this to get a sense of the producer, as it's one that has been on my list for a while, but I never got a chance to try one. I'm generally pretty impressed here; there's a fairly light touch here, with a more delicate fruit composition that definitely feels quite Morey. Perhaps a little something that comes off as stems on the palate. Very sensible oak use here as well.

It tastes like red currant. The body is medium. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.

Knightsbridge Annual Holiday Burgundy/Champagne Tasting and Sale (Northbrook, IL): Tasting, brief note. Fleshy red and black berries start-to-finish. Lush start, more weightless and elegant finish with charming spice. Yum already.
