Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 14, 2014 - 2009 and 2010 CSJ Horizontals Tasting: Tasted with all 2009 and 2010 Clos St Jacques. My and most of the group's WOTN. Good deep ruby. Like the 2009 Fourrier but not as expressive, a luxuriant bouquet of ripe fruit with lovely exotic spice, high toned red berry, earth and lifted floral aromas. On palate, absolutely classical, classy CSJ. Perfect ripeness, no more than medium weight but with great depth, volume and power. Real intensity and very long. Rich but with laser like precision and focus. Perhaps, on the night, a little too linear, but with this power, there is no issue for this young wine. Similarly, the suave, fine grained tannins come across as a little austere today, but this is understandable. All of the elements in place for a great wine. Ideally, cellar 10+ years. 95.
