Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Wednesday, October 29, 2014 - Visit to Domaine Sylvie Esmonin in June 2014 (Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy): Nearly all whole bunch in this drought year (compared for example with 60% whole bunch in 2012), Sylvie said that the grapes had very thick skins in 2003. This is a cuvée ronde, made from 20 different parcels, including a little Clos Prieur Premier Cru. The wine has a very primary colour. The bouquet has aromas of dark cherries and blackcurrants. Also showing intriguing secondary evolution on the nose and some tertiary notes among the layers of fruit and spice. Great fruit on entry, powerful yet elegant, and a procession of rich flavours on the long finish. Very big boned but well structured. Serious dry extract. This is drinking very well now.
