Outrageously fresh with pure red fruit notes, and delicate spice aromas. Magic. Best wine I’ve had in recent memory. Thx for sharing @Chris McClellan partner at DellaVino Imports.

I don’t think I can remember a burgundy that has smelled so much like a northern Rhône wine. Loved the aromatics! A distinct blood/iron note with herbs, earthiness, and crunchy cranberry. Slightly darker profile on the palate with tar, black raspberries, rose petals and some spice. Good acidity here...not sharp nor flabby, with a soft profile after a short decant.

This 1978 Clos Saint Dennis Grand Cru is showing still wonderfully at the age of 37 years old, a bit past its prime but still enjoyable. Terra cotta color, nose full of mushroom, leather, dry tea leaves, a hint of black fruits, medium body, with light tannins and still good acidity and short finish. My score 85, drink up.

The 2012 Georges Lignier Clos Saint Denis and the 2009 Domaine Harmond-Geoffroy Mazis Chambertin. The latter was one of my favorites of the Rosenthal tasting today!

Nose a bit closed, but palate is lovely. Stones, berries, herbs. Hint of ‘11 green-ess, but it seems to blow off with time and come across as simply attractive freshness. Grand cru level weight comes through with time in decanter.
