Community Tasting Note

• rc@ughey Likes this wine: 92 points

  February 15, 2011 - Still kicking--and more! Like my last bottle a couple years ago, this starts out tired. It is aromatically restrained and the palate is a bit flat. But after some air--really, like 2 hours of airs--this opens up and becomes a delightful cocktail of lemon cream, oranges, nuts, and some exotic fruit elements. 20 years has given this loads of complexity, and it's still a pretty intense, assertive Puligny. The only gripe is that it comes off as a bit blousy from the lack of acidity, and there's no real minerality. Nevertheless, this is a very well made wine that drinks beautifully for its age. I wouldn't be surprised if it continued to improve and drinks well in another decade still.

  If you have a chance to try this wine again, give it 4 hours of air before you start drinking. As long as the color is young looking, you may well find it will open up further than you might think possible. Let me know what happens (if it happens)!
