much better on the 2nd day; 2011 red burg continues to confuse the establishment - there are quite a few good wines. it’s not profound but it’s complex enough.

Initially muted aromas, gained traction with time in glass. Assembled from 2nd and 3rd tier Volnay parcels. Great comparison in this tasting. More steely - our blind guess was Pommard Village level.

Still showing a fair amount of acid. Good red fruit on the nose. Acid balances with some air. Continues to improve.

Somewhat muted, slightly opened up during the dinner. Went very well with goose liver.

Spicy black cherry and more dense than I expected. Definitely needed a little time to open but did not disappoint.

Lovely Pinot Noir, well-made and smooth. Subdued but clean cherry start, and smooth tannins in the finish.
