Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 13, 2013 - Burgundy Wine Club Dinner 2013 (The Breslin, NYC): This is a hard tasting note to write because the wine was glorious, and superlatives can be both tiresome and suspicious. But it really was amazing, one of the very finest red wines I've had. Also the first Musigny I've ever had, from a bottle. The nose is acrobatic and utterly alluring, varied, complex, gorgeous. The image in my mind smelling it was a large velvet robe draped on a bed, ruffles and layers of plushness, creases that hold little secrets, demanding that you dive in. The fruit is still there, although the wine is tertiary, with subtle aromas of earth and hard spices, and all the time compellingly deep. When it first hit my tongue I was shocked by the power and focus, as it seemed from the nose that it would be a gentle old wine - not so. Intense and energetic, and it fills every cavity of the mouth and nose. Glorious wine, an advertisement for great terroir, regardless of vintage.
