Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, October 25, 2023 - First positive impression is the cork that comes out easily and is still super elastic while soaked up only some 6mm and looks totally new.

Full, youthful colour that shows no sign of ageing. Nose is cool and a bit dense. Nice aromas of dark fruit and a bit of cedar. In the mouth extremely enjoyable to drink as all alcohol seems to have vanished and tannins very smoothly resolved. Still supple and not dried out in the least. A little bit of a dense structure and taste is not overly complex. Only here we might identify it not to be one of the great classed growths.

Still, this is a very lovely wine of outstanding quality. One would never believe this is now 22 years old and only a cru bourgeois. It also is for me another confirmation that the 2001 vintage is unrightfully underrated compared to the 2000's. And this wine in particular was a remarkable experience.
