Community Tasting Note

Vintomas wrote: 89 points
January 23, 2014 - AuZone AGM (AuZone, Stockholm): Light red colour with pale edge. Nose with ripe strawberries, mature notes in the direction of decaying strawberries, some animal notes, noticeable spice, and some undergrowth. Medium bodied(+), palate with ripe strawberries, cherries, good concentration, noticeably spicy, and with medium tannins. A pleasant wine but a slightly “rough” character, and perhaps a typical Pinot Noir style rather than an obvious Burgundy. Rather ready to drink, 89 p.
Very good power for village level wine from 2007, which is a vintage that is not at top level, but one which has the advantage that it is maturing quickly. I had expected that one had to go up to the premier cru level for a négociant MSD to show this kind of weight in 2007. Actually, someone pointed out after the tasting that the corks of this lot are branded “MSD premier cru”, so the contents of the bottle is most likely of higher level than what is written on the label.3,882 views
