Community Tasting Note

pjaines Likes this wine:

Friday, January 15, 2016 - Always a lighter style of Grand Cru from this area, this pretty much sticks to type - quite feminine in style at first and a little disjointed. There is a sticky cherry and mushroom tang coming off the wine at first, but an hour later this has smartened up a bit into a tighter, more upright wine. Perfumed rather than muscular, there are some cooler black fruit notes and minerals flowing out of the wine. Better than expected - I've had some shockers from this producer/vineyard in the past - and if given a little time to open up is quite a decent drink. No rush to drink, but good to go now.

Is it Grand Cru quality? Not really - but the price I paid reflects that.
