2007 Jean-Claude Bachelet et Fils Saint-Aubin 1er Cru Vielles Vignes

Color: dark ruby

Nose: attractive milk chocolate & vanilla, mocha, raspberry, licorice, Earth/forest floor & Asian spices

Palate:  bright acidity enveloped the whole mouth then the minerality & tannin kicked in.  Ended with a medium finish at the tip of the tongue.  Very complex & masculine, though it didn't seem to have the long finish that the Potel Vosne-Romanee had.

Food Pairing: boeuf bourguignon

Alcohol: 13%

Purchased from: Astor Wines, NY

Price: $30 (on sale)

Verdict: Very nice!
