Community Tasting Notes 10

  July 5, 2022 - Opened for a friend's 50th birthday and perhaps was not lucky with this bottle. Very good fill around the 2.5cm mark, brought cork out entirely despite not having a Durand at hand. Slow ox'ed for an hour or so as the nose was not great upon opening but not outright bad either. In the glass a healthy light garnet without much browning but then however clearly oxidative notes dominating the otherwise sweet palate. Drinkable but not more. Have a few more so hopefully more luck then.

  February 19, 2022 - Overall this wine seemed like it might score ~95. However, this example was somewhat corked.

  March 9, 2017 - Zachys La Paulee "Warm-up" Dinner (Lafayette - New York NY): Small glass, brief note. I didn't see bottle condition and don't know provenance. This was still alive but fully, fully mature and perhaps a little bit dirty.

  January 17, 2017 - Dinner at Osteria Langhe (Chicago, IL): Ullage was a little bit bad on this, but are you not going to drink it? This is the embodiment of that old Musigny cliche of an iron fist in a velvet glove. A nose that has a ton of iron, mixed with some potent red fruit and just the right amount of Burgundian poop, and a palate that delivers on all that, with a silky texture that lets the iron and fruit glide through to the finish. Plenty of life in this bottle -- what an absolutely epic Burgundy.

  February 28, 2014 - A bit of TCA, but behind a probably still decent wine.
