Community Tasting Note

  April 4, 2024 - Another Wine gathering at RJ’s; 4/4/2024-4/7/2024 (Palmetto Bluff, South Carolina): Served blind to Justin and I. I declare Burgundy but RJ is trying to trick us. I smell again and my conclusion is the same. The fruit expression is not ripe enough to be a domestic Pinot. It is apparently a Burgundy. Justin and I guess Vosne as it is very spicy. Than we guesses Morey, then Gevrey. If it is Gevrey, the spicy note tells us that it has to be Rousseau. We both guess the 05 but apparently 13 which doesn’t surprise me. The vintages like ’08 and ’13 seem to mature faster. Beautiful spicy nose displaying perfectly ripe red fruit, raspberry, pomegranate, Vosne spice, white pepper, a hint of sous bois, grilled cep, spicy spices, stem and mineral. Medium concentration, finely layered red fruit, silky and delicate, bright acidity, fine mineral and a medium to long perfectly ripe red fruit driven spicy finish. It slightly lacks the mid palate and material. Nevertheless, it is drinking beautifully.
