Community Tasting Note

Monday, February 1, 2016 - Really exited about this wine. Have heard a lot lately about the fact that 2003-burghs have tremendous longevity because of the record-warm vintage and the resulting tannic structure of the wines. When I saw this one at my vendor in the '03 vintage, considered by many to be Matrot's most prestigous red, I found out it was time to try a '03 again. Seven years since my last visit with red burgs from this vintage. Back then the late Denis Mortet and his range of village wines were fantastic. Now, at 13 years of age, the vintage is starting to show muscles. A prominent tannic backbone going all the way thru the wine combined with a ripe fruity character gives the wine something almost non-burgundian in style. I really think I would struggle to taste the pinot grape at a blind tasting with this wine. It has almost a more of a Rhone-style, but still has the elegance of Burgundy. Very fascinating. I think I must buy more, for this wine still has years and years ahead of it in the cellar. Very good and balanced despite of all the tannins.
