Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 7, 2023 - Strange experience (and what else would you expect from Burgundy!).

Really wish I would have let this decant longer and other CT notes would have made mention of decant time.

Decanted an hour before dinner. Back in the bottle and brought to Cyrus in Geyserville. The meal was fantastic....!

Decanted again at the restaurant. About an hour later got to it. Still super closed. Fuck. After about 4 hours it unfurled. Really nice. I'd say upon first opening, 89 points and super disappointing.

After 4 hours it came into what it was. Burgundy arrived. Told my wife felt like I was drinking air. That's a first! Definitely not worth the price of admission. Have had many a burg at a fraction of the price (Faively especially) which were equally delicious. At this price I won't be rebuying. Glad I finally had a Grivot Richebourg.

And so it goes.........
