Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 24, 2021 - Great Sushi, Great Wines (San Mateo, California): Opened and poured. Still even medium ruby. Rapidly soaring nose of clove, perfumed fruit, and a small amount of herb. Medium weight with glorious glycerine, sappy feel. The wood that I noted in 2012 has been beautifully integrated. Seamless, discretely ripe fruit with round supporting tannins. Super persistence and finish. This is a superlative Premier Cru with the stuffing to last another decade, over which it should become less dense and even more ethereal. Its quality was evident insofar as it acquitted itself beautifully next to a Rousseau Chambertin although it could not match the refinement of that wine.
