Community Tasting Note

  December 6, 2022 - Ruby. Some varietal olive and dill. Lean, tannic, mineral, and saline without a great deal of fruit expression. When I tasted this at the domain shortly after bottling, I had high hopes for it, but I must say that it has not yet fleshed out into something more than it was in its early days. FWIW, this was the Dressner bottling.

I met this year in September Bernard Baudry and he told me that he considers his 2010 CB as potentially great. After having had my first 6 bottles already, I will try not to open the remaining 6 too early.

  12/7/22, 2:55 PM - MJReb-I recall thinking that the entire range of 2010 Baudry reds was truly great, but the showing of this bottle really made me wonder. I hope it is just a matter of the Croix Boissée going through an awkward phase or needing a good deal more time as M. Baudry seems to indicate. It is the first time I've tried the wine since 2012.

I ask because I had some dumbass at Crush Wine in New York try to tell me that Emidio Pepe bottles some of his Montepulciano from a special plot for the American market. I live in Italy and know and have been to Pepe. The Crush rep was trying to justify the ridiculous threefold price in the U.S. market compared to Italy.
