Community Tasting Notes 11

• Joseph Grassa Likes this wine:

  December 20, 2020 - To be upfront, I am a novice with Burgundy, especially with some age. This slow oxed for about 5 hours before the first glass, and the last glass was poured about 2 hours later. The nose is excellent showing floral notes (hibiscus?) and a potent sweetness (Maraschino cherries?). On the palate the sweetness almost disappears behind the acidity. Cranberries dominate but slowly dark chocolate covered cherries start to emerge, and there is a bit of iron going into the finish. I think this would have actually improved with a few more hours of air. Not quite complex and not quite balanced, but I definitely enjoyed this.

  August 28, 2020 - A two hour decant delivered the goods on this excellent bottle. A fully mature light to medium bodied wine, it offered notes of sour cherry pie, potpourri, tea and antiques. Fine for sipping alone but fairly ideal paired with canapes of seared foie gras on sourdough toast.

  July 30, 2019 - Decanted at restaurant, light in color,a little cloudy, but surprisingly fruity on the nose,with faint leather. Aeration helped. Very smooth on the palate.
