Community Tasting Note

  March 27, 2016 - My third average red Burg from top makers in a row. I would have taken an 88 pointer from any other maker, but not Dujac, and certainly not from a Dujac CDLR. Another very one dimensional wine. The nose was decent with rose petals and sweet red fruit - strawberries, cherries and pomegranate and cherry cola, but none of the robustness, meatiness and the terroir of a good CDLR. The palate was a disappointment as well, with some acidity and soil, with red fruits dominating, but somehow this really didn't perform like a good Grand Cru from the top 5-6 makers in Burgundy.

The fact that the wine "did not tire" doesn't indicate that the wine was as it should be, and indeed it sounds like it may well have been a damaged bottle (or possibly not a genuine one).
