Flickinger dinner at avec River North (Chicago, IL): At first I thought this was slightly corked (of course I did) but it was pretty clear that this wasn't TCA when it didn't bloom and in fact blew off. Still plenty of tart red fruit here on the attack, and more impressively this doesn't fade on the midpalate. Silky tannins. An absolutely lovely bottle of fully mature pinot.

Very impressed by this wine! Expressive, energetic (if not youthful), balanced. Complex nose, hints of something meaty, liquorice, and spice. Could have spent all night just sniffing.
No mention of 1er cru on the bottle, which makes me guess Les Angles was given the designation later than 1976 ..
