Grand Cru Burgundy 1920-1971 (University Club - Chicago IL): More interesting than enjoyable, this was all mushroom with hints of spice and shadows of black fruit. My first thought is that I'm told few 1947s have survived well because of the difficulty making wine in what was considered the hottest Burgundy vintage of the century. But a second bottle at the other table was allegedly far better than what we tried. Note: what was formerly Remy's holdings in Chambertin is now Domaine Leroy's holding.

Lighter cola red brown color. Forwar daroma of stewed red fruit and mushroom. Decent red fruit with some sour acidity. There was another bottle poured that evening which showed MUCH better than this one. 3/05
