Community Tasting Note

  October 1, 2011 - Another Saturday at Knightsbridge - mostly blind (Northbrook, IL): Tasted double blind. Great black and red cherry fruit on nose and palate, lots of baking spice front-and-center. Great fruit density really shows its Grand Cru pedigree, but surprisingly accessible already for the vintage. Tannins and acid beautifully integrated to provide great textures and nuance. apparently Serafin harvested late in 1996, leading to acidity more proportional to the fruit than many other 1996s. Seemd to have reached its peak, but still having a good long plateau. Probably the finest Serafin Charmes-Chambertin I recall ever tasting.
