Rhys vs White Burgundy Blind (A collector's home): Wine 1. Translucent red color with a touch of orange showing at the rim. Beautiful nose, strawberry and red cherry purity (no stems, no oak). Lightweight palate, very lithe and silky with a lovely caressing texture. Another fabulous 07 red burgundy.

Floral/mineral nose, dollops of minerals, deep black cherry fruit. Mint. Fresh on the attack, vigorous and quite full on the palate, nice stone fruit quality, dusty tannins. Perhaps a little extracted. Quite long, slightly drying tannins on the finish. Energy. This is delicious with a bit of a wild quality to it. But I worry about the extraction.

What a lovely surprise. Initially a bit awkward but after a decant and half an hour it opened really nicely. Cherries and strawberries. Not a lot of backbone, acidity and tannin. But very charming nonetheless.

Just starting to unfold. I wish I had waited on this one. A strong showing, but it showed flashes of something much better.
