Community Tasting Note

Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 3, 2018 - PnPed. Pale red and somewhat cloudy. This is not what I expected. Very very Burgundian - in fact very similar on the nose to the 83 Amiot Chambolle Charmes that I liked so much recently: aged red fruits, cinnamon and five spice, and a nice savory meaty like thing. Some leaves and herbs - very perfumed and autumnal. Beautiful on the palate - again, very perfumed, tart red fruited, lots of spice, more of the savory meaty aspect than the nose. This has a lot of acid and shows it as tartness in the red fruits. This acid/tartness is really prominent on the finish, which at points borders on shrill. This isn't what I expected from this wine, and maybe a touch disappointing, but still beautiful. I should note that in retrospect I think that this bottle was taken right from the cellar (horizontal) and poured and that it probably needed to be vertical for some time before opening. It was cloudy, as noted, and each pour probably had a lot of fine sediment - I've found that this, for me, has a huge negative effect. Nose - 5.5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 4.5/6, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1.5/2 = 16.5/20.
