Community Tasting Note

Thursday, December 16, 2021 - Lafarge and d'Angerville study (Chicago, IL): My least favourite of the feature presentation this evening. This was all structure and no pleasure at the beginning. Some black fruit on the nose, but some oak aromas as well, with a palate whose structure completely eclipsed any of the black fruit that was there, at least initially. Blocky and inelegant, and especially so in contrast to the rest of the wines this evening. With air, the fruit on the palate did emerge some, but it was never able to break free from the tannic shackles. I'm not optimistic that this wine will ever come around (and truth be told, I don't really care for the overly structural 2005 red Burgundy vintage anyway), and even if it does, there would be plenty other vintages that could provide more pleasure for less coin.
