Intense Beaune crunch that I love. I think four or five more years of age and it gain some polish, but I like the minerality juxtaposed with the tannin for a structural hit. Intense with soaring aromatics. If you are looking for opulent fruit with refined tannin you might want to look elsewhere.

Drank Friday. Much better experience than the previous bottle. Delicate, very pretty nose, great minerality and a nice earthy finish. Went suprisingly well with dishes that I would normally pair with white wine (anchovy-butter pasta followed by salmon in olive oil).

Kemp's 65th including some 1945 wines.: My contributuion. :-( Corked. However I did give the birthday boy a sneak preview barrel sample of the 09 Sonkincellars, so i hope he liked that better.

Similar experience as previous bottle. Still drinking well. Plenty of structure remaining. Tannins are a bit rustic, but enjoyable.

Fruit faded, nose modest, but still an enjoyable wine with a long earthy finish. Had enough acidity left to go well with epouse.
