It's interesting how you accept a lot of flaws from burgundy and not from US. This one had too many ...

Beautifully smooth with light, elegant structure and tart, lifted acidity framing bright red cherries, cranberries and an undertone of leather and savory. The longer in glass, the smokier it gets. Very poised. Enjoy the evening it's opened!

A bigger wine in profile than I expected for his CdlR. It revolved substantially after opening so enjoy as you go.

Jun 17th, 2013Absolutely lovely. Opened 90 mins before and didn’t decant, don’t think it needed it. Finish really may be 1min+. This is drinking meaningfully more advanced than the 1999 that we had a number of months ago - so, drink up, but enjoy. Incredible precision of fruit and earth and excellent acid. Paired with simple chicken thighs crisped and the fat rendered down in a pan and then a pan sauce with shallot, garlic, thyme, and lemon. Delicious.
