Community Tasting Note

    December 26, 2009 - I was a bit concerned about the wine because I have heard that it is beginning to mature rapidly. Luckily, the wine is still drinking quite well, though it's much further down the maturity line than anyone would have probably guessed. What surprised me the most was how high the dosage was -- or at least how high it tasted since the Bolli '96 followed a low-dosage effort from Marie-Noelle LeDru. While not out of balance, it did taste a bit dumb for the first few minutes and it worries me for the wines continuing prospects as it further matures. A nice undercurrent of '96 acidity may save the wine in the end, and tonight it was a pleasant drink though certainly not life changing.
