Community Tasting Note

ducster72 Likes this wine:

Sunday, February 4, 2018 - Three hour decant. Slowly, gradually opened. Started light, red-fruited and tight (but not tannic). Picked up weight, the fruit darkened and the wine opened somewhat. Another 2010 that's accessible because it's so perfectly balanced. You feel the old vines as much as taste them. Sort of inherently a little sauvage as opposed to the autumnal flavors some burgundies pick up with age. (Which I view, in this case, as a feature...not a bug.) If you don't have very much, you could enjoy a bottle now but would be leaving quite a bit of positive development on the table. If you have a fair bit, by all means give one a try if you give it some time in a decanter. In five years, I'd bet this is a 96-97 point wine.
