Tuesday, November 7, 2017 - Bourgogne Master Class CdN Tasting (Holiday, Utah): First of our Red Bourgogne for the night

Interesting nose from the start, Tart red fruits, cherry, dried cranberry. Also a spice note on the nose which I would call cardamom, not an oak flavor, potentially from stem inclusion? I also got a citrus aroma on this wine, not something I'm used to from Red Bourg wines. Diminished alcohol with M+ acid and medium to diminished tannins. Slightly floral as well with hints of raspberries and more red fruit on the palate. Still get that slightly spicy flavor, which reminded me of cardamom...

This wine is pretty and drinking well right now, truly enjoyable but I think it is built for the short term drinking, not aging. I would like to try more from this producer as I really liked this wine!
