Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 14, 2011 - Initially we're unsure if it's a Clusel-Roch or a Domaine de Tunnel in the glass ;-) since the nose is almost muted. In comparison with Jamet's 2009 CdR here's little to find. Besides an recognisable yet very low-key syrah character, a hint of volatility, some pencil ink and christmas spice. As we taste the wine, the muted impressions continue. Almost flat, the acidity doesn't sing at all, but the midpalate mouthfeel obviously has good silkyness. The wine doesn't really show its class until there's some food to work with. At last we can appreciate how the taste builds a nice arc with its elegant structure and decent length. After a few hours the nose and palate opens up with a bit of smoked sausage and saltiness. Well, it's a risky business to open côte-rôties between 4 and 7 years of age...
