  12/24/2023 - Cote d'Or Likes this wine:

  Tasted over 3 hrs
  -med red mild bricking
  -funk stewed tomato rhubarb Gevrey cherry earth sous bois toasted grain
  -med acidity, med/med- weight gentle sappy remnants of cherry and warm earth some sous bois, seamless med- tannins mostly resolved
  -divinely complex nose I could just sniff for days, fully mature but not tired either, just crazy to reflect that over the 21 years this bottle sat in my cellar it's appreciated 50 fold in monetary value, which counterintuitively makes it harder to actually open and enjoy it; regardless, it's lovely

  My first Truchot - and sadly sadly the first sniff was one of wet cardboard and stinky socks. Oh my. The wine actually tasted really good with slight fizziness and natural funk some real brimming quality underneath. The nose somewhat dissipated and if one was inclined to be bullish it turned more towards a sulphur note. Definitely not a clean bottle but the wine still got drunk with some pleasure for its elegant palate and mouthfeel. One can only imagine what a clean bottle would have done. Thanks for the generous pull Chris!

  Labor Day Burgundy Insanity at Paulee du Hersh 9/1-2/18 (Denver, CO): Odd bottle with what I thought was secondary fermentation. I liked it better than most but will decline to rate it.

  Unfortunately the perfect example of a corked wine, but not bad considering this was the only off bottle of a lineup of 17 Truchots. Some fruit behind the funk if you wanted to fight for it, but considering the company, not tonight.

  Deep crimson color, dark by the standards of the producer, with some cloudiness observed as well, this is definitely one rustic Charmes. Some of the usual Truchot funk but it also came across screechy and shrill at first and needed at least an hour in the glass to really come together. Once there, it's plummy and stony and (yes) plenty funky and earthy but there is still a dense core that's not giving up a whole lot.
