Community Tasting Note

Roland67 Likes this wine:

Monday, December 18, 2017 - Very dark and intense colour, though with a lighter edge signalling maturity. Intense and concentrated nose with blackberry and significant oak. Toasted oak. Very smooth flavour, despite that the acidity is still high. After one hour in the glass it opens and become even more friendly and gain a little more complexity with some herbs under the fruit. Very nice, very drinkable. You just don´t want this bottle to get empty. Given the fact that this is “only” a Village wine it is having a proud composition. Perfect Gevrey dark fruit and a surprisingly, almost Chambolle-like sweetness. 12 years of age and still I would not be afraid to keep the remaining bottles in the cellar for 5 or even 10 years more. It also drinks very well now, but give it time in the glass or decant it before serving. Will be perfect for accompanying duck or game. Last comment; this “just a Village” 2005 just push my expectations for the 2005 vintage in general even higher. Can’t wait to get into my 2005 premiere crus and grand crus …. (In some 5-10-15 years from now… ). 90+
