Community Tasting Notes 2

  September 10, 2011 - Mature Burgundy at David's (David Paris's place): Nose very similar to the Cazetiers tasted prior. Lots of stewed fruit and some spice. A bit nicer on the palate than the Casetier due to better acidity and grip but still no great wine. Merely good and completely outclassed at this event. Picked this up at auction to take to David's mature Burgundy tasting. I owe him something much nicer for the next one!

  September 10, 2011 - Ten great mature Burgundies, from a couple '96 Leroy GCs to a '61 Musigny (My House (Portland, OR)): This one started out tight and musty, but then it began opening up after some time, including some spicy aromas eventually entering the picture. Not much depth of aromas. The palate is fairly boring, and a little funky and strangely sweet.. something odd. It tastes like that thing at the end at an Indian restaurant, with the fennel and sweetness. So strange. My wife (who's Indian) got all kinds of Indian spice flavors on this one in fact, and joked, "No really, I think this wine is made by Indians to go with curry." The finish is tart, with some nice acid. Pleasing and fresh. Didn't have the depth of the other wines.
