Community Tasting Note

Saturday, September 15, 2018 - 2001 Red Burgundy at Chez Hugo (Chez Hugo, Baltimore): Earthy and mineral, with some undergrowth/moss at first. It's savory more than dark pinot fruit on the nose to start. A more introspective nose than the wide open inviting Clos St Jacques. On the palate, a serious thought provoking wine of consequence, with wonderful sap and density delivered with grace. The soil and fruit in great balance on the palate. More gravitas and depth than the Clos St Jacques, yet also a bit less giving at this point. Deep and intense yet all this power delivered with grace and while I do not want to cal lit a soft touch, it has terrific finesse. Great structure and balance, and I suspect it may be the better wine in a decade, the Clos St Jacques is the wine at its peak. Wonderful wine.
