Popped and poured Saturday nite at Champetre. Deep ruby color, no evident signs of age. Nose of cherries and strawberries and bramble. Medium bodied wine, plenty of red fruit on the palate, along with good amount of spice, solid acidity and minerals. Roundish mouthfeel which I'm guessing is a result of the still-present oak in this modern style burg. Still some tannins, but they're smooth and non-intrusive. Long, sweet finish. This is a fairly big, powerful wine. Not at all rustic. Enjoyable burg drinking nicely at the moment.

Light dusty red. Red and smoky fruit and spices on the nose. Sweet and round on the palate and not very tannic. Great acidity. Minerals and light oak caramel and fruit on the finish. Shows the 2007 muddled and dusty fruit character. Great to drink, but don't expect crunchy red fruits.

BM's famous brisket gathering (Bethesda, Maryland): Beautiful mature nose displaying sweet slightly dry red fruit, raspberry jam, strawberry, a hint sous bois, light caramel, mocha, sweet spices, tree bark and mineral. Medium concentration, finely layered sweet red fruit, silky and air, good acidity, medium mineral, noticeable but fine tannins and a seamless long subtle sweet red fruit driven finish with caramel and sous bois at the end. The mid-palate is lacking a bit. I find the 07 Red Burgundy similar to the 01, i.e. expressive nose and always open, medium body with slightly dry tannins. Really enjoyable wine.

Tasted blind. I thought the nose was muted, although quite good and pretty with mostly red cherry and strawberry flavors. However, no fruit on the palate and a very short finish. Weird showing.
