Antonin Rodet Griotte-Chambertin

Older Grand Cru Burgundy from disrespected negociants : (first bottle had insectcide-y nose and we pitched) Slightly old nose and like texture to start. Good light color. Prune and power - not integrating. Then a nice tenderness with better fruit, iron and soil. Oscillated back and forth between those places for the rest of the evening. At peaks, very solid, even Bèze-y with a good power and some sweetness. Certainly a fascinating wine and overall good experience.

Tasting some forgotten burgundy with friends (The Twisted Vine) : color garnet. nose showing mostly cola and spice. lean on the palate and finish. not pleasant. way done.
