Community Tasting Note

• dcwino wrote: 93 points

  June 23, 2017 - Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): After lunch, we coordinated with the sommelier regarding the red for dinner. Either the 93 Leroy Richebourg or the 05 La Tache. Since we will be drinking the 05 La Tache at the end of our trip, we go with this rare bird which is not on the list. Pop and pour, Kelly mentions VA, RJ thinks medicinal. I get hydro peroxide. Medium expressive nose displaying very ripe dark fruit, sap and mineral. Exceptional concentration, beautifully layered, incredibly dense yet very precise, good acidity and strong mineral presence. Unfortunately the finish clips short. RJ think 87 point nose and 94 point palate, I am around 93 pts. Considering the price, a definite disappointment. So far, the wine god is punishing us. Is this a slightly off bottle? I will never know.
