Gesamteindruck: Wie so häufig bei Burgunderverkostungen stellt sich die Frage, was denn jetzt an den Burgundern dran sein soll, denn das kann es ja doch nicht gewesen sein. Die Weinauswahl ist wie immer aber speziell bei Burgundern essentiell für das Verkostungserlebnis – und mit wenigen Ausnahmen sind junge Burgunder nicht gerade überwältigend. In diesem Sinn hätten alle Weine vor 1993 liegen müssen mit den Ausnahmen 1997 und 2001 – bis auf eine Ausnahme (und den wohl interessanten aber bereits etwas absonderlichen 1937er) waren das aber alles junge Weine.

Die Küche war übrigens spektakulär gut, insgesamt also ein gelungener Abend.
