Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, May 10, 2011 - Brought this to my wine tasting group featuring red Burgundies 2002 and older. Beautiful expression of elegance in this richly flavored lighter burgundy. Nose was ripe cherries and some strawberries and same fruit faded by time around the edges. Not so much dried as much as less ripe. An earthiness to the nose tethers the fruit and I tasted a rich roundness to the wine that was part sweet and part savory with a touch of schist wrapped in cherries. There was a yeast component somewhere between mid-palate and finish that was like tomato brioche. Beautiful flavors that were well integrated and segued smoothy to a long and light finish. The wine ended on a higher note from a flavor profile standpoint - I tasted optimism in the finish and I was ecstatic. I've had some disappointing vosne-romanees from the same vintage and it was gratifying to drink such a beautiful wine from this producer.
