At Caveau de Arches in Burgundy. Another great dinner. Red & black cherries, blueberries, high acid, low tannin, - seems out of balance now where if opened earlier the concentration would balance out the acid. Now I would hold allowong for the acid to calm down a bit and get back in balance - but what the hell do I know.

I could not keep myself from tapping into another one of these bottles. Similar showing as in May 2020. Perfectly balanced and just the right amount of sappy and spice to make for a beautiful earthy black cherry and cinnamon stick surprise. I personally love the dollop of extravagance here. The perfect amount of saturation. Great now with some air; better yet, hold for a few years. 95+ points.

Nose tells you right away this can only be Burgundy. Lots of finesse, but quite young. Lay down for a few more years or give a long decant.

Very gourmand texture with oak spice, pine resin, and red currant. Dry and polished.

Generous with the black cherry fruit, with burnt orange rind, smokey earth, and spice notes. A tick of extravagance mid-palate is perfectly counterbalanced with extraordinary acid. Notable speed and verve while also kicking out tasty ripe red and black cherry flavors. Another Boillot success. Drinking remarkably well now, with upside after a couple of years. 95+ points.

Zachys La Paulee Auction; 3/5/2020-3/6/2020 (Le Bernardin Prive - New York NY) : Small glass, brief note. Yummy but rich and a bit flamboyant.

La Paulée Zachy's Auction - Friday Afternoon (Le Bernardin Privé) : Forward and flashy with spicy, smoky black cherry. Palate is rich and generous but well balanced. Fun now, no need to wait.

Small tasting glass @ VINEUM during service, so a brief note. This is great and can rival top Côte de Nuits I think. Perhaps an idea for a tasting in the future...

2017 Riesling GG Tasting @ VINEUM in Rotterdam, the Netherlands (Vineum, Rotterdam) : Final wine of this afternoon. Served blind by me again for the group...Reviews and responses were really full of praise. Which I think is more than fair! Delicious, will try to keep a few bottles to track the development...92-93

Van Steenderen Wines Grosse Gewächse 2017 Tasting (Restaurant Vineum, Rotterdam, NL) : Tasted blind. Beautiful purity and intensity of fruit, great balance and minerality, excellent precision, top quality low toast oak, perfect weight, concentrated but transparent, excellent length. Amazing wine.

Henri Boillot Sydney Dinner (St Claudes, Oxford Street, Sydney) : sulphur, a little stalky, slightly meaty and peppery spice, rich ripe berries and a touch of meaty stew. Juicy, fleshy, savoury, wet, dark hued fruit, softly gritty tannins. Nice
