Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 92.7 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 3 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Goldstone on 6/4/2015 & rated 94 points: Old Bordeaux Dinner (Hong Kong Country Club, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): Daerker brass-gold colour but still very fresh-jeweled and bright in the glass....no-one could guess it was 25 years old. Nose is subtle and multi-layered: deep bass notes then seashells, ozone, melted butter, rounded pebbles in a saltwater stream. Palate is gorgeously deep and unctuous, perfectly harmonised and all round edges like the pebbles from the nose but with an added element of slightly carmelised butter. Grows and expands in the head on the finish - it positively billows. Serious length and resonance....deep and growling. It's that rounded pebble thing you remember the most, though. (1908 views)
 Tasted by yacobove on 12/13/2013 & rated 90 points: Tasting Group - White Truffle Dinner (Casa Aneff): Tasted alongside the’86 Jadot Corton-Charlemagne, and this wine still seemed so young. There was great freshness on the nose with hints of browned apple and vanilla. The palate was all honey and there was a nice amount of acidity left on this wine. Still quite tight on the finish, this should still improve with time. (2034 views)
 Tasted by Goldstone on 8/3/2013 & rated 94 points: Angela's Belated Birthday Dinner (Crown Wine Cellars, 18 Deep Water Bay Drive, Shouson Hill, Hong Kong): This is the "Collection Privee de la Famille Drouhin" release from last year when the Drouhin family tasted all their library wines and released their favourites from back vintages. Briefly decanted. Deep but bright and fresh-looking yellow-gold colour. This has a quiet but purposeful nose of lime leaves and rounded butterscotch boiled sweets. Palate is oh so soft and delicate.....so light but with tons of power....melted butter and molten gunflint..... so molten and rounded. Calm and understated length and resonance that is long and very sophisticated. So incredibly understated, even with its acidic backbone. Absolutely brilliant when paired with lightly grilled fresh scallops, bacon, marmalade and salmon eggs. It evolves with time in the glass into a perfectly rounded pebble.....absolutely integrated and fully-formed. Fantastic. (2095 views)

Burgundy

Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson

# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates

# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson

# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson

# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio
