Blind by TA. Looked a little older that it was, but most were spot on with varietal and its Burgundian origin. Big wine, a little oxidative, racy acidity. Enjoyable but a little lost in the crowd on the night.

I've always found these wines to so over perform for the appellation, such intensity & finesse, great acidic backbone that's very rarely found this far south.
