  Opened an hour or so before drinking. Did not decant.
  Dark fruit (black cherry, blackberry), earth, slight sous bois, a bit closed. Acidity seems to dominate the finish.

  2002 Grand Cru Burg for ~$40? Have to take a flier on that. With that said, I was pretty unimpressed. Decanted for an hour and opened up in the bottle over time.
  
  Nose was lots of secondary and tertiary character. Underbrush, muddy soil, mushroom, etc. I think there was dark red fruit under there that was trying to show but wasn't really present. The palate had good acid and a silky rounded mouthfeel, but there was barely any fruit left. I'm not sure what I was tasting. The finish was also rather unremarkable.
  
  For all the talk about GC Burg, this was a very underwhelming experience. Albeit, it was a $40 bottle, so what could I have really expected anyway? Nothing special going on here. I've had $30 village and appellation wines that were superior to this. I did not buy this so I feel comfortable being critical of it. If this was in a blind tasting it would not do well.

  About 30mins of air, decanted off sediment. Garnet core with a large brown-orange rim. On the nose, dry leaves, menthol, fig, black licorice, dried cherries, just a lot there. On the palate, medium body and velvety mouth feel that carries through the whole palate. Acid was a bit high at first and came down over time. Dried fruits and earth on the palate are a bit muted, but this wine has a very luxurious mouthfeel nevertheless. Pretty obviously over the hill, and would have likely been a few points better ~5 years ago, but still a very interesting glass of wine.

  Sweet deep cherry fruit with minty herbs/pine needles and bits of beet root come through. A bit of soy comes through with a whiff of French onion soup but the aromas lean toward dominate cherry and currant fruit. Spicy citric fruit that becomes wider and richer and more red berry emphasis. Quite young showing and a bit tight overall. 92-93.

  Double Blind: Burgundy Style Point Noir $50 - $100 CAD: [Tasted Double Blind] This pours light garnet in the glass. Clearly an aged character to this wine that only got better with the two or so hours it was open. The nose is wildly complex and beautiful showing dried cherry, dried mushrooms, steak tartare, dried ginger, and dried orange peel. The palate is awesome with low dusty tannin and medium acid that is nicely tinged with dried orange peel providing a lengthy and appealing finish. I was really quite enamoured with this wine in the end and was almost a 94 pts. My guess was 2001 or 2000 burgundy. So I had the age right, but I didn't' really detect the warmer vintage. Perhaps the lack of any greeness should have tipped me off.
