Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Tasted double blind. Clearly a mature Burgundy. Forest floor aromas with lingering black fruit. Also mostly earthy on palate with good acidity, modest tannins, good length and finesse. Shocked to find out this was from 1980, but this was much like another bottle of the same wine from last year.

Ruchottes-Chambertin Dinner (Boka - Chicago IL): Tasted single blind. Perfumed nose with black fruit in balance with mushroom aromas. Palate was slightly more earthy, still showing black cherry, also lots of structure and power on long finish. Still fairly firm. This was one of my favorites, but WOTN for several people in our group tonight.

Popped and poured this is a very ready wine with finely resolved tannins. Really at its last legs. But still very good and just all the right smells
