Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 31, 2020 - Beaune theme dinner at Red House Copthorne. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, medium intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
Nose medium+ intensity, with distracting nail polish volatile acidity, and then underlying aromas of perfumed florals and caramel. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13.5%), integrated medium+ highish tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet tea leaves, sweet caramelized red cherries, sweet earth, underlying iron minerality, and some leather. Medium+ finish.
Good quality. Body and structure is still there though fruit is not generous.
Deserves a slight higher score if not for the distracting VA nose. Drink up.
