Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 23, 2013 - Top 09 and 10 red Burgundy tasting (Capital Grill at Tysons corner, VA): I rated the 09 Chambertin 99 points in November and Jememy H whose palate I trust wrote that the CDB is even better. My experience with Rousseau is somewhat limited but I love the style, pure, expressive, warm, spicy and earthy. The wines are delicate and decadent with airy texture. Most delicate of the flight, also lightest in color. Raspberry essence, sweet and spicy spices, light caramel, limestone and earth. Incredibly airy plate yet intense and bright core fruits. The most delicate palate of the night, the red Burgundy equivalent of Chateau D’Yquem in texture. I originally rated the wine 99 but after tasting the La tache, I had to lower the rating. Perhaps I would have rated the wine 100 if drank at home. Demonstrating the clear flaw of the 100 point rating system.
