  My only bottle of red burgundy left in my cellar was a present for my graduation a few years ago. Just recovered from surgery it was time to treat myself to a nice bottle so popped and poured this one. My knowledge on Burgundy is limited and my experience is mostly on the cheaper kind so rating this one is kind a hard.
  Nice vivid bright color without any signs of maturity. Fresh nose with strawberry hints. Good acidity and some forest flavours. Nice aftertase which lasts quite long. Grilled a nice corn fed organic(ish) chicken stuffed with green herbs, garlic and lemon. A great easy saturday evening....gotta buy more burgundy, anyone a book on Burgundy for Dummies?

  Trip to France; 10/13/2008-10/24/2008 (Burgundy, Rhone Valley (Chateauneuf-du-Pape), Paris): Some sweet cherry, licorice, and hints of wood/nuts. Palate is very smooth with fine tannins and soft mouthfeel. Just a hint of sourness on the midpalate. Long balanced finish with some cherry and raspberry, but driven by stone/mineral. Good.
