Community Tasting Note

• La Cave d'Argent wrote: 81 points

  June 7, 2013 - Deep red/garnet at this point and showing nice aromas of dried cherries, allspice and tobacco, this wine fails to deliver a comparable experience on the palate. It is medium-bodied and very tart, with significant residual dry tannins which overpower any remaining fruit. The wine concludes with a medium-length, astringent finish. There is no doubt that this village-level Burgundy, a "forgotten child" in the cellar, should have been consumed at an earlier date. Drink up!
