Community Tasting Note

  April 18, 2015 - Courcel/ Chanson Tasting with Gilles de Courcel (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Popped and poured mid-afternoon, served to the tasting group. Slightly musty to start, but that quickly dissipated. Mostly black fruit with subtle spice and a dense, weighty mouth feel I like in well made Pommard. Well structured, but in balance with fruit that is fresh enough I'd have thought it younger than an '88. Final glass poured 8 hours later, at which point there was more earth and mushroom, but still good flavor and balance. This was my final bottle, but well stored bottles will easily drink well another decade+.
