Community Tasting Note

• OenoEd Likes this wine: 93 points

  November 2, 2020 - Ricard’s 2019 note , effusive and articulate in praise of this, inspired me to open my next to last bottle, previously reviewed by me here in 2018 and 2019. I fully expected this to be sliding downhill; that Ricards bottle was an aberration, or his commentary exaggerated. Instead, in short, this bottle was the best of the three, and his notes are dead on. There is a serious element of sweet burgundy funk, barely brett, which only adds to the complex beauty, well described. Bottle variation in classic burgundy Village? Who’d of thought. I sourced these at the same time, same case, provenance etc. Yet, my 2019 bottle was hardly the same wine. I couldn’t quite get to a 94 score, because this faded in the glass after 25 minutes, but it’s a real treat. I worked to cook an ideal pairing: Collard greens simmered in a dried chili pot liquor, toasted wheat berries plumped with that liquid, and some seared wild boar beet sausage from the creative folks at Fossil Farms. Awesome!!
