Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 20, 2016 - Gevrey Chambertin Dinner (Imperial Treasure Super Peking Duck, Paragon): A really nice wine in its own right, but this was almost like coming back down to earth after drinking an ethereal bottle of 2001 Rousseau CSJ alongside. On the night, this showed a beautiful nose, with perfumy notes of fresh flowers on their stalks along with red fruit. Not great complexity, but this was a spectacularly attractive nose. The palate showed a bit of thickness to it, somewhat lacking the detail and definition of the 2001, but it still had that same ringing purity of fruit in its red cherry and berry flavours, ringed with bits of mineral and earth and savoury umami tones on the midpalate. and then a dash of bramble and spice on the fiinish. With its juicy acidity and soft tannins, this was a really pretty wine that was really good to drink on the night - just unfortunately overshadowed by the stunning 2001.
