Tuesday, October 18, 2011 - I'll go with Arnie's note below as a good description. While we did not drink that bottle together, he did provide another bottle this week for the dinner we attended together, which I appreciate. We drank this bottle next to a 2008 Bouchard Genevrieres. There were similarities, especially around the toasted oak quality, with the Marcassin showing vanilla bean. There is more palate weight in the Marcassin too and the nutty note Arnie mentions. I prefered the leaner acid, the driven side of the Bouchard but to taste the Marcassin and track that wine within the context of a burgundian foil was intriguing for me. Arnie, thank you again.
