Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 5, 2007 - A Burgundy Dinner (Nopa, San Francisco): And finally this. As light in color as the Ponsot. The nose definitely had some gaminess to it and called to mind the Broadbent descriptor of "beetroot", which I interpret as a combination of sweetness and a vegetal edge. The sweetness was artificial and unintegrated, suggesting chaptalization. On the palate, also delicate with a candied sugariness that was not terribly pleasing. Disjointed. Best right out of the bottle--all downhill from there with raspy acidity rapidly taking over. A treat to taste but certainly not great or even Grand Cru quality. Drink now or better yet, 10 years ago if you possess time travel abilities.
