Community Tasting Note

Monday, June 8, 2009 - Trip to Burgundy; 6/7/2009-6/10/2009 (The Cote d'Or): Paled in comparison to the other vintages. Still a good wine, but not quite up to Grand Cru standard. Nose was closed, rather tight, with herbs, wood spice and little toasty hints along with a whiff of tobacco. Some complexity there, but all pretty buried. Lots of finesse on the palate, lovely balance too, but like the nose, pretty tightly wound. There was some amount of power in the dark fruits and nice minerally notes, but I thought this was rather curtailed by the 2007 leanness that was apparent on the mid-palate. Longish finish was very nice, with a touch of herbs and nice dark fruit. Should get better with some time.
