Community Tasting Note

• BenBlu Likes this wine: 96 points

  July 1, 2021 - On the nose this beautiful fresh and sweet pomegranate note that the Orveaux 2010 also displayed to some similar extent that night. The palate is pure silk, beautiful measured acidity, just so well judged. Long and deep pinot fruit. For me clearly the WOTN. This should be sensational in 10 years. Again confirming the 2010 is THE vintage for recent great vintages in Burgundy. Seems to just be coming out on top in larger tastings again and again.

For me the jury is still out how much I like 05 as they clearly need more time than the 10s to be pleasurable in a Burgundian way... So imho it's 10 as I can clearly see it (already). Both should be great /are great though.
