  6/24/2015 - HowardNZ Likes this wine:

  Dinner at Ma Cuisine, Beaune: A browning, rusty red colour. A clean nose of pipe tobacco, dry underbrush and old plums. With time in the glass the bouquet moved more savoury and richer. 'Beefy', said Bill. The entry to the palate was big and round, seeming lower acidity. It was mellow, soft and fully integrated, secondary rather than tertiary in its flavour spectrum. As well as some caramel, there was dried plums, beef stew, old leather couch, dry earth and tobacco leaf on palate, with an attractive savouriness throughout. It paired well with my duck but really began to sing with the Berthaud Époisses, an absolutely beautiful combination. A memorable wine, Bill said it was the best 1964 Burgundy he'd ever had.
