Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, June 7, 2015 - Highlights from Thierry's pre-tour dinner: A fragrant floral, red berried character on nose, with some dry underbrush and spices. On palate, drier and more savoury than the 2002 Rousseau Cazetiers served with it. Such was the elegance and delicacy, I had the wine as a Côte de Nuits, or perhaps a Volnay, but certainly not a young Corton. Flavours of jelly crystals, iron ore and red cherries. Once I knew the wine was a Corton, I thought it must be an accessible '98 or '99. Having recently drunk a 2006 Faiveley Corton (don't try this), the 2006 Comte Senard is very approachable for a Corton. Helen noted the delicate extraction and what she thought was older oak here as the reasons for the accessibility. Still, ideally, I'd cellar it for another 5+ years.
