  Even light ruby. Wonderful, complex aromas of red berries, a whiff of smokiness, and perfumed menthol. Elegant medium weight with a super, round feel in the mouth. Bright and very red fruited for Clos Vougeot, fine soil, relatively little remaining tannin, and an assertive twist of orange zest that lifts the finish. Splendid, refined wine that is fully resolved at this point but should easily last for another 5 to 8 years. A bottle like this proves the wisdom of being patient with this cru.

  New Year's Eve (Healdsburg, California): Lighter than the 2006, but amazingly, this deepened significantly over time. Much more menthol upfront than the younger wine. Again, remarkable poise and elegance for this cru with beautiful roundness and length. Redder fruit, a citric twist, lovely minerality, soil, and sous bois. Very classy Grand Cru with 5+ years to go. These 2 Anne Gros wines were beauties tonight.

  Served in a flight of 93 DRC GE and Richebourg, and remarkably this managed to hold its own. Pristinely stored, this is a dark, dense wine with an enticing nose. The winemaker really hit it out of the park in '93, a classic Clos Vougeot.

  I served this blind to 3 people, the guesses were mostly 2010. A great example of how well stored, well made Burgundy, can last many decades. Rich fruit, dark color, this could easily go decades more. But my bottles won't last, because they are too delicious today.

  Superb showing for this wine. Dark color, lovely sweet finish. A little funky at first, nose exhibits wonderful spice after 45 minutes in the glass. Drink or hold, this is a delicious and thoughful Burgundy.
