Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 29, 2020 - This wine is currently a bold, muscular Burgundy with impressive concentration and depth and rather hedonistic. I followed it over two days and it showed clearly improved on day 2 with more aromatic complexity and a touch more sweet fruit but it is clear, this will need more time to integrate and mellow. Currently it drinks at roughly 94 points but it has the potential to become a 96-98 point wine once mature. I would wait at least until 2026 before opening another bottle.

TN: On the nose and especially palate this displays fresh red fruit with sweet and sour raspberries, strawberries and red cherries, lots of terroir expression with minerality, earthy tones, mushrooms and stems. On day 1 the sweetness and fruit was more dominating, on day 2 the earthy tone along some burnt sugar and toasted oak showed up making it more balanced and complex. Very good intensity and precision. Impressive concentration and length embedded in a harmonious structure with bold but very fine tannins and a good freshness. Medium++ length.

Decanting: Better wait 5 to 10 years. If you open a bottle today, a very long decant is advised.
