Community Tasting Note

Champagneinhand Likes this wine:

Saturday, June 13, 2015 - Pulled this from my cellar for a group watching of the film A year in Burgundy which was based in chassagne-montrachet and the vintage year 2011. I aerated this for 3 hours before rebottling it and bringing to the event. wine was served in balloon style Pinot Noir glasses where it warmed and showed what to expect. Nice minerals were noticeable in this darker, yet some what translucent deep red wine. Smells of black cherry, blackberries and earthy notes, maybe a touch of oak, which all came through on the palate along with some baking spices and florals of violets at the rim of the glass. This paired well with a liver pate made from duck and pork livers mixed with some port wine. Comparable to a poor mans foie gras. Nice medium length finish with minerals and acids keeping things fresh. No green notes that some link 2011 with, but I n=made sure to give this plenty of air. Compared to a Monterrey, cA Pinot, you see exactly why this was almost 440 more in price.

Very nice.
