Community Tasting Note

• Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 97 points

  February 3, 2019 - 2nd Annual Sommelier Appreciation Dinner (Undisclosed Location): Sweet dulce de leche and dark chocolate on the nose, cedary on the entry but then a core of dark berry fruit emerges. Still a whole lotta tannin but refined and brushed like merino wool, and gets finer and finer as it sits in the glass, eventually turning to silk while the fruit picks up a slightly brothy savor. Not much else besides Chambertin can be this refined and robust, simultaneously. Still, it is very primary, the sweet fruit very young and far behind other '02s in development (many of which have shed all the sweet fat and are now closed or closing) - this will need many years to show any kind of maturity, but a mighty fine treat today just the same.
