I bought a couple bottles of this wine back in 2011 through a wine auction. I opened the first of the two tonight. Wow. Dark cherry, a touch of anise, and tobacco. This is really close to a whoa. From a solid vintage, this has really great fruit on the palate--slightly stewed, but amazing. the acidity is off the charts and this is why you hold on to solid Burgundies. Sadly, wines like these are now pretty much out of my price range as the cost of 1er Cru Burgundy has gone through the roof in the last decade. thedrunkencyclist.com

Urbano Wine Dinner - August 2010 (Urbano Cafe, Dallas, Texas): Tasted non blind at a wine dinner. Opened and served immediately. Followed over about 1-2 hours. Garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of florals, berries, cranberries and a hint of talc. Flavors of berries, cherries and cranberries. Bright acidity, medium to firm tannins, medium to full bodied. Drink now with some air or continue to hold. 91-92.

Beautiful perfumed red fruit framed by a hint of toasty oak. Lovely chewey red fruit and bit of spice, mouth coating, sappy, mid palate sweetness. Nice refreshing spine of acidity. Good length, finish. Lovely wine.
