Theme: Grand Cru: Slow-ox overnight. This has really nice lifted complex aromatic of fruits, mainly on the red spectrum but also show a shade of darker fruits. Some wood spices, violet, earth with nice cool feel. This wine has all the elements that I like about 2008: transparency, freshness, sleek frame but with depth. Pretty mouth watering acidity and juiciness, elegant and persistent. I guess the slow-ox procedure helps to bring out the fruits to balance with the high acidity. No rush as the oak and tannin has not fully integrated, yet.

Expressive nose of smoke, flora, blue fruits and earth. The palate is quite full, with rich blueberry and cherry fruits and plenty of underlying mineral and earth. It builds through the palate, finishing with some of the vintage’s crunchy acidity.

Vibrant with red berries and elegant energy. Excellent and now in its early drinking window.

Good Wine with an Exciting Super Bowl (Chez Kailin - Northbrook IL): A great wine just sadly corked tonight. Some disagreed, but I imagine they have never actually tasted a correct bottle of this wonderful wine before.
