Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, June 12, 2019 - PnP and slow ox about 30 minutes prior to drinking at Chianti Grill. I loved this producer more about six years ago but my palate has moved ever so steadily towards more traditionally styled Burg producers like J&L Trapet. Today this reminds me more of many top notch Oregon producers. Its a great tweener but I'd like a little more emphasis on finesse, earth, minerality and tertiary. Even at 10yrs+ years in, this is exuberantly ripe with lush sweet cherry and raspberry along with some unwelcome cola notes. Very pure and delicious but lacking subtly and depth. The nose offers some earth & tertiary making it more interesting than the palate. Enjoyed it but its much closer to Oregon PN than Gevrey Chambertin, for my palate. The alc seems like it more like 13-14% too. Tasty as hell but lacking a bit of terroir authenticity. I do need to try one of my, likely more balanced, 2010s of this. Paid $60 and certainly worth that. For me, the recent releases at $90+ are overpriced.
