Community Tasting Note

Saturday, March 30, 2013 - Decanted, and some worrying fine brown sediment with the dregs. Quite a full gold in colour. Nose initially a little adelhydic and worrying, though curiously this seems to low off and the wine isn't actually poxed but it is overly mature and tiring. A sense of sweetness to it too. Some minerality, the riper frame that GC tends to in its maturity with more than a nod towards the Côte d'Or, but also a simplicity, lack of grip and length that makes this an acceptable drink but not exciting. 10/12. Of the ten to date, three clear poxes, three or four also-rans (to varying degrees) and two or three absolutely stellar IIRC. Ho hum. I've had much better luck with the 99 Clos and both Clos and Preuses in 2000. ***
