Pas souvent qu’on peut boire ça, belle expérience, vin encore puissant, fruits noirs, presque bleu, très beau mais encore marqué plus par la dureté et l’austérité du millésime 2005 ici je pense.
Very nice, powerful, a tad austere though more from the vintage I believe than anything else, still blessed to be able to drink a rare bottle of that producer.

Bottle decant for several hours. Drinking with 09 SC suchots. 05 is less mature in any way comparing with 09. Pronounced aroma with lots of red fruits blue fruits and flower. Medium+ acidity with high tanning in the finish. Still need more time since everything seems still concentrated in front palate. In addition, the sweetness is obvious, but still has a dry and clean finish. Love it.

Burg Dinner with Friends (RPM Steak - Chicago IL): Open and in decanter for several hours before being returned to bottle and brought to dinner. Lots of fruit concentration, but little spice or pleasure in general for now. A wine we think will turn into a charming Vosne 1er Cru based on experience, but surprisingly backward.
Deep Pinot fruit on the nose but it gets even better when this magic liquid enter the mouth. This is such an enourmous 1er cru from Vosne-Romanee. Blind I would have gone Grand Cru. This shows also the strength of this vintage. Fruit is massive, tannins are so lovely to chew and acidity great which gives a perfect balance. One of the best 1er Cru´s I ever had. Maybe its not as powerful and deep as a Le Malconsorts but the elegance, the beauty is hard to beat.
