  PNP into Riedel Performance Pinot Noir glass (“Fruit” day): Pale garnet to the eyes.
  
  Again, chicken broth like nuances with Hawthorn and wild berries.
  
  Superbly textured and concentrated fruits. Herbal spices.
  
  94 points easy but this needs more time to open up.
  
  1 hour in: more integration and sous bois, meaty nuances that adds to the complexity. 94-95 points.

  Really handles the '08 vintage well as there's enough density here to fill out the lean, acid-driven nature of the vintage to go along with aromatics that have really nice lift and complexity. A beautiful village Chambolle.

  Pompette Salon 酌樂 Series VI (Pompette Salon, Taichung): Love it! Like the breeze in the spring. Dried herb, roses and cherry all balanced nicely in a very pure way. Totally opposite to the 2015 or 1999 tasted alongside. Very 2008 I guess. Classic.

  A pure ruby red color, with some dampening from age, but great clarity. Nose is lovely and soars from the glass. Still fruit forward, with red fruits (raspberry, red currant) and dark cherry notes. Also carries some floral and mineral notes and a touch of spice. Really great. On the palate, the thing that stands out to me is the texture (silk) and integration of the structure of this wine, which sets it apart. It’s incredibly precise with fine and supple tannins and drinks well above the village level. The fruit has faded a bit and the acidity is a touch high (consistent with the vintage), but it’s delicious and great with food (I paired with a hamburger). A quite spicy and mineral driven finish that has tremendous length. This is in a nice spot and probably a bit further along as I tasted from a half bottle. I wouldn’t hesitate to open.

  WTDS at Meritage (Meritage, St. Paul): Medium ruby red color. This had gotten some air and a quick decant; same bottle as Chablis28. Lovely nose, earthy with pretty red berries, bright raspberry, floral with rose hips. The palate is medium bodied, red fruits, polished with lovely texture and fine spices.
  Man these are a joy to drink 92+pts.
