Community Tasting Note

Sunday, October 29, 2017 - Rather powerful nose with ripe strawberries, some spice, wood, and flowers, hints of smoke and red berry liqueur, and some developed notes. Medium+ body with strawberries and cherries, good concentration of berries, spice notes, some tannins with slightly woody elements to them, spicy aftertaste. 91 p.

I feel that this wine was perhaps raised in a little too much new oak for its own good, for it still shows quite a lot of spicy and woody notes at 18 years of age. However, it doesn't show too much of the typical mature Burgundy notes (undergrowth and so on), so it should keep for at least another decade (at least judged from this bottle, which had a truly perfect cork).
