Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 25, 2019 - I did not enjoy this bottle as much as the previous some 4 years ago. In particular I didn't care for a rusty metallic steak on the nose but this element blended well with other features on the palate. This was quite full bodied for Burgundy with fruit and general complexion more savoury than I noted before with touches of ivy and gentle spice leading to a surprisingly firm finish for a soft vintage. The best feature was the long fragrant after-taste which lingered on as a I went to fetch a bottle of port. I'm not sure whether this overall showing represents the beginning of fading or simply a less open phase which might have been attenuated by decanting. Just about very good but not worth the members' average value of nearly $400 and still less the Wine Searcher quotes of >€1400.
