Community Tasting Notes 3

  October 29, 2014 - Visit to Domaine Sylvie Esmonin in June 2014 (Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy): Nearly all whole bunch in this drought year (compared for example with 60% whole bunch in 2012), Sylvie said that the grapes had very thick skins in 2003. This is a cuvée ronde, made from 20 different parcels, including a little Clos Prieur Premier Cru. The wine has a very primary colour. The bouquet has aromas of dark cherries and blackcurrants. Also showing intriguing secondary evolution on the nose and some tertiary notes among the layers of fruit and spice. Great fruit on entry, powerful yet elegant, and a procession of rich flavours on the long finish. Very big boned but well structured. Serious dry extract. This is drinking very well now.

  December 19, 2010 - Deep and opaque colour. Fresh black cherry and plum tones and touch of oak on the nose. On the palate GC power, huge tannins, molasses balanced with a superb dry vinous sinewy backbone. Finished clean and pure, good acidity. As close as burgundy will get to Barolo. Will age well for decades...

  November 8, 2009 - Scent of Pinot grape and vine leaf, followed by an array of sweet smells . There are plenty of berries flavors on the palate to keep you focused. However, it still need a couple more years to tame the spirits and tannin. This is a delicious wine.
