Community Tasting Note

Elpaninaro Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 13, 2019 - Quick impressions after a dinner party, small sample coravined and shared by our generous host to test integrity prior to beginning the long decanting process tomorrow for another event

lovely mature color still with a strong red-purple tone to it, at first a very unruly nose of Maytag, dark fruits and strong barnyard, on the palate similarly untamed but promising as it comes together, after an hour the nose settles with the earlier hints of volatility gone, sweet earthy cherry and cranberry fruit, on the palate genteel and savory- some persistent fruit but dominated by notes of underbrush, bramble and sweet earth, good finish that is clipped to some extent and yet curiously there is an almost burst of fruit in the lingering aftertaste, a rare treat and greatly appreciated, as with Chateau Magdelaine or the red Chassagnes from Ramonet- this is perfectly harmonious with great food. ****, I have little experience with Jura wines but my gut feeling is that this is in its full prime and should be consumed fairly soon.
