Great Burgundian Meal- best view in Philly

After visiting "visions of Arcadia" at the Art Museum we went to the Water Works for dinner. Next to La Croix, this has to be the best venue in Philadelphia. And, the meal was fabulous. But the wine was the star, at $52 for the bottle.

This just a grand wine, and a bargain on the wine list.

Just beginning to get a bit of color separation- ruby and brick. Very viscous on the glass.

Aromas of red fruit, spice, and forest floor.

Flavor follows through with both primary and tertiary tastes.

The finish is long with just perfect balance.

The wine was presented a bit too chilled, but it is August in Philly so that resolved itself quickly. I recommend the restaurant and the wine.

About the wine maker- this is a relatively young producer with a great pedigree. She produces a full spectrum of wines from Cote de Nuits, but the result from this 0.5ha lieu dit of relatively young vines probably best showcases her talent.
