Community Tasting Note

• Wineteacher Likes this wine: 89 points

  December 14, 2015 - This Burgundy has a pretty dark color at nearly 20 years old. This is a bigger bodied wine than I had expected. It has a nice mature bouquet although the taste is more one-dimensional still lacking the exotic fruit and earth of a very fine Burgundy at maturity. What it lacks in complexity is made up in some way by its body and brawn. Nice and enjoyable wine at almost 20 years.

I suppose we consumed it over the next hour and it was not opened until about the time of consumption. It was decanted. I think the wine is still young and has not developed that "roasty and toasty" flavor profile yet. Quite dark too.
