Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 4, 2017 - MNB: NZ/OZ Pinot vs. France: (blind)
Medium minus ruby.
Ripe and somewhat fleshy (ripe tomato) nose - mid-ripe cherry, ripe peach, hints of oak. Slight burnt toast reduction, but also shows savory bruised cherry notes of age. Light floral tones.
Dry, 13% alcohol (correct), high acid, medium plus tannins.

Structured with just medium alcohol. Despite the clean style, I think this is Burgundy based on the cooler ripeness (peach, tomato) and elevated structure. 15%
Nuits-st.-George, 2014, $40, 15% new oak.
Actually: Bouchard Monthelie 2015
Analysis: Pretty structured for a 2015
