Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, June 3, 2008 - Beginning of the Month Burgundies (Chez Panisse Cafe, Berkeley): Light color comparable to the Fourrier tasted alongside it. Combination of red and black fruits, but a mere echo of the intensity of the nose in bigger vintages. Very good acidity and focus for a 2000, and a dark core of meaty black cherry fruit, again with a touch of greenness that was present in each of our reds tonight. Good finish. This tries hard to be serious, in the mold of Hubert Lignier wines. In the end, it does not possess Grand Cru depth or grip, but enjoyable and excellent in the context of the year. I would tend to drink up now as I don't see it improving, but a few at the table suggested another 3-5 years of positive evolution.
