Funk on the nose the entire time - palette improves after warming up - maybe a bad bottle but worried it might be past peak drinking window - sadly to say

I celebrated another year on this planet earlier this week, always glad when I am continuing to count days gone by! Some fun stuff in the works for tonight.
Dirty cherry, cherry compote, yum, more later...BTW, NOT my birth year, thank you!

Amazing wine. So complex with smells and tastes then evolved every 15 minutes. Loads of red fruit, eventually became sappy. Wilted flowers, forrest floor, mushrooms, orange rind, energy, and length. Finish was record length.

Pierre Rovani's American touch is evident in his wines, as the possess more concentration and more oak than is typical for Burgundy. He is a staunch advocate for firm pressing and leesy aging. Combine this with a 100% new oak program and you will understand where all the power comes from. That being said, there is still great elegance. The 09 Cambolle-Musigny is seductive with ripe raspberry and spice leading into a wine that is surprisingly minerally, linear and focused. Beautiful tannins.

Really delivered on all fronts. Excellent fruit, body, and acid. Gorgeous bouquet. Surprising after over 50yrs.

Had 2 bottles side by side. Both led with sous Bois and lengthy complicated red fruit. One bottle with lower ullage was better. #sommselect
