Latricières-Chambertin theme at Maison Dakota late night. Drank in Grassl Cru. Appearance is clear, pale intensity, ruby colour going garnet. Legs. Nose medium+ intensity, with aromas of dirty animal, lovely tertiary earth, red spice, dusty red fruits. Developing. On the palate, dry, juicy high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), medium+ tannins, medium+ body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of salty animal meat, dirty earth, dusty red cherries, plum, red spices. Long finish. Some yummy vegetable on day 3. Very good quality. Superb nose and palate right up my personal alley. In the zone already.

Needs an hour in the decanter to smooth out. Singing aromas of meaty, spicy, herby black cherry. Concentrated and powerful fruit that is lively, juicy and seamless. Clean finish with lots of meatiness. Very good now and should hold at this level for a decade+.

Dang this is good. I wish it had showed earlier in the night’s line up because it could have been a contender. Everything I love about Burgundy in a glass. Delicious and drinking great now. I recommend decanting for 1 hour if drinking now.

This bottle gave me back some confidence on Faiveley. Side by side with faiveley GC CdB 2003, this one sent out floral notes in the nose and acidity in the mouth. 2003 CdB sent.......message of Bordeaux wine. Though not as graceful or deep as Rouget NSG village 2004 (also side by side), this one stops me from selling all my Faiveley wine instantly.

Excellent. Tannins have softened with sappy, minerally red fruits.
