Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 7, 2017 - The ferrous notes of this bottle are surprisingly strong - more than of any bottle or vintage I can remember. It overwhelms all other senses, in spite of the fact that this is a big wine of serious concentration. All other notes - of dark fruit, of soil, of whatever - are masked - almost totally hidden.

I have just come from a tasting of 2013 vintage Cote de Beaune - lean wines of higher acidity that accentuate the difference between Burgundy and California Pinot - and may well have skewed my ability to be more discriminating.

Unrated at this time.
