Deep dark tawny. Hot nose. Notes of cherry kirsch, moist dark soil, some wood and some rhubarb. Strong and powerful in the mouth. Lots of fruit with low acidity. Alcohol is noteworthy. One dimensional in its delivery. Typical for the vintage. Ok at best.

Last week was a combo of 4th Friday and Open That Bottle Night on back to back nights. Needless to say, the lineup between both days was full of heavy hitters, so I’m only posting standout bottles.
I agree with other comments that this would be a good bridge from Cali/OR to burgundy. The fruit here is still quite ripe and powerful, highlighting the warm vintage. Darker profile compared to the Laurent Mazis-Chambertin...blackberries, black cherries, blueberry fig, violets, and espresso aromatics. Less acidity than the other, and more plum. I imagine the flavor profile will stay here for quite a while, but I don’t think it’s improving.

Pleasant dark fruit on the aromatics. Green fruit and medicinal on the palate. 2011 Vougeot from Jadot. Mediocre. This tastes more like a borgogne rouge.
