Community Tasting Notes (5) Avg Score: 94.8 points

  • Big, dark and dense. Fragrant nose. Black cherry, menthol, loam and leather, with a backbone of piercing acidity. Impeccable structure with fine grained tannins that suggest a long life ahead. This is still relatively young, although the flavors are showing beautiful secondary development. A long lingering finish.

  • Super nice sweet spot - great nose after some time! Deep cheeries and black fruit - however very delicate! Medium strong body and medium finish!
    Overall a very good wine indeed!

  • Just bought 6+1 and took one to a burgundy night yesterday. Was very closed at first but opened up in the glass. Great nose when you overcome the oak which dominates to begin with - red fruits, pepper, vanilla, cinnamon. It leaps out of the glass. Still very tannic but there's definitely great balance there! Will give the rest a few more years.

  • Served last, as a coda to our 1985 Burgundy tasting. We were told it had been decanted for 3 hours but it was still a little tight when poured. After 5 minutes in the glass it opened up beautifully, showing a wonderful nose of ripe cherries, plumbs, and strawberries with hints of pepper, cloves, and just a faint trace of forest floor. Asked to guess the vintage most of us went for 2009 or 2010. Clearly still a baby but with a stunning life ahead. It can be drunk now but definitely not without some serious decanting time!

  • End of 2014 wines: Served blind, a nose of spices and raspberries, red cherries, plums and red currants, with a little dry earth. The flavour profile was similar, with decent fruit on the palate. A solid, earthy, slightly muddy wine, not at all spectacular or lifted. I was thinking this was a 1er but, on the reveal, I wondered if it, as a 2005, just needed more cellar time to be at its best. It was far from clenched and iron on the palate, but I wondered if the wine was closed in a different sort of way? Perhaps it will improve in 5-10 years?

    (Bouchard Père et Fils Chapelle-Chambertin) Lots of dark oak on the nose - obscures much of the fruit. Dark oak and fruit on the palate too. There’s decent length, but I miss focus. The black oak of Bouchard P&F
