Community Tasting Notes 1

June 8, 2013 - A good example of why older Burgundies should be oxygenated using the "Audoze" method. Low expectations given the Meadows note below. Great fill but the cork is soaked through. Kermit Lynch import. As per Burghound's note the wine starts out with a muted nose and "soupy" flavors. Mineral driven and earthy at first with little fruit or structure. After 2-3 hours of air (in bottle, not decanter) the wine puts on weight and develops more complexity. By 7-8 hours in it is singing. Acidity emerges and some balancing tannin along with ripe, dark red berry liqueur both in nose and mouth. Wonderful bottle that starts out at 85 points and ends at 93.

3/1/2004 (link)(Arnoux Robert Vosne-Romanée Les Suchots) An aged colour of medium-plus browning amber. Not too much spice on the nose, but plenty of sous bois and turned earth. Unlike some of the younger vintages which are very, very concentrated, the wine puts in a very elegant performance. The tannins are resolved, the acidity is good and there is the silky texture that only a good Burgundy can deliver. A treat!
