Spot on. Packed with stony, mineral flavours with a nice seam of acidity to balance the sweetness.

Domaine Taupenot Merme Gevrey Chambertin 2005, Ac
Burgundy, France$49.95
Ambering to a pale red at this point. Very fragrant and fresh on the nose, especially when just opened. Much denser on the palate with the tannins still noticeable. Fruit is moving into the secondary phase. Note quite as much complexity as I'd hoped, but perhaps an "inbetween" state. Interesting to try again in a couple of years.

Cune Gran Reserva 2012, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$28.95
Bright ruby colour, not showing much age at all. Nose is similarly vibrant and open, with notes of violets, herbs and dried fruit. Quite light on the palet — only medium bodied — with ripe fruit flavours and the oak supporting and not dominating. Tanins are all resolved but a bit of acid bite on the end, so I’m thinking drink up over the next 1-2 years while fruit is still present. Nice modern style Rioja.

Il Molino Di Grace Riserva Chianti Classico 2009, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$24.95
Classic Chianti, all savoury and umami-laden at this stage but still quite vital.
