Community Tasting Notes 2

  October 3, 2015 - During a tasting. Medium-light ruby. Nose of dark and red fruit with some oak and spices. Rather unpolished on the palate with drying tannins. Hard to judge. Les Suchots is a great vineyard. This may come out well in the end but no one at our table liked this in its current shape. 89-?

  April 12, 2015 - Double Birthday Celebration for Fiona and Me - 2015 (Alex and Fiona's in AMK): What a lovely young Suchots – this was really yummy. Michel Noellat actually has one of the largest parcels of Suchots, with 1.5 hectares planted under 70-year old vines. The wine had a pretty young-Burgundy nose, with sweet, sappy aromas of strawberries and raspberries, with wafts of flowers and a little lift of wood spice alongside. Still very primary smelling, but very attractive. The palate showed a lovely depth and purity, with its rich, sappy notes of sweet raspberries and red cherries and a touch of strawberry jam laced with deeply integrated acidity that gave the wine a subtle juicness. Its fine, sinewy structure was deceptively gentle amidst all that succulent fruit, but there was actually a real grip to the fine tannins keeping the wine nice and tightly focused all the way into a long, juicy finish, where slightly stemmy notes of fresh-cut flowers and another sprinkle of wood spice. On the more elegant spectrum of Suchots, yet with no lack of muscle and grip, this was a lovely terroir-driven wine with a bright future ahead of it. It is drinking well young, but this should age effortlessly into the next decade and more. It is still primary and a bit simple now and deserves patience. 92+
