Community Tasting Note

  • mmcdds Likes this wine: 91 points

    May 11, 2015 - This has a very pretty nose of red fruit, earth and spice, all of which carry over to the fairly forward, mid weight palate that's showing really good depth for a village nuits. There's still some chalky tannin on the longish finish, but overall, this is drinking very well with just an hour or so of air.

    Revisited at about 4 hours and this was really singing.

    7/5/16, 2:38 PM - I would too. Good luck and let me know how it was.
