2014 red Burgundy tasting w/ incredible whites served blind (Eddie V's - Tysons Corner, VA): The second blind white, courtesy of Bryan. Fully mature color, deeper yellow. The nose reminds me of mature Chablis, shy yellow fruit, apricot and yellow peach, burnt sugar, oyster jus, lobster poached in Sauternes, a hint of cinnamon and oyster shell/mineral. Fully integrated palate, subtle apricot fruit and oyster jus driven palate impression, slightly lean, bright acidity, good mineral presence via oyster shell and a medium to long subtle yellow fruit and sweet spices driven finish. Perhaps an old Chablis. No one expects this to be over forty years old.

Still singing load and clear. An incredible array of aromas – truly fantastic. Feels a lot younger in the mouth than you would expect from a 32 year old wine. Lovely slick structure and balance. Long finish. Big in the mouth with masses of fruitiness. Lovely acidity. Overall a delight!
