Tasted blind in a Burg line up. Medium garnet with browning hue. Rich and ripe nose here with spice box, bakery, some tertiary funk. Great palate with well integrated tannins. Mature and graceful.

DRC Tasting Group (Cafe Veloce): Tasted blind. Darker purple color. Much more mushroom, earth and smoke on the nose (perhaps a bit of brett). The body started off a little light, but built up some richness in the mid-palate, and then finished firm.

End-of-Summer bounty with wines (Chicago): Dark ruby, verging on purple. Very dark-fruited on the nose, with a dash of turned soil to complicate things. Given the vintage, this has unsurprisingly low(ish) acidity in the mouth, contributing to a broad, fruity texture. The fruit is of great quality though, plush, velvety, and long on the front of the palate. There's some tannic structure left as well, thought it's mostly buffered by the fruit. I think this wine could age more, but it's an attractive drink at the moment and I doubt I would wait on it if I had any in the cellar.

Dark berries including cherry and raspberry combine with cola and wet leaves. Well-balanced wine. Still has some time left - too bad it's our last bottle.

200 Burgundy Grand Crus from vintage 2000, 4-day blind tasting (Singapore): Pirate bottle. This was deeper with more more pine tree, darker pitched, masculine, sweet and dark at the same time. Impressive. The Drouhin flight was really excellent across the board in this tasting.
