Community Tasting Notes 29

  October 14, 2022 - Volnay theme: Still remarkably fresh on the palate despite an orange hue to its appearance. Guessed a cooler year like 2006 with the high acid and dark red fruit that didn't seem too ripe, but from a more structured plot. A little spice on both the nose and the palate. Some found the rusticity and tannins a little distracting but I liked this.

  August 8, 2021 - blind tasting chez David: Burgundy mishmash: Volnay, Chambolle, Puligny, Rully and Pouilly Fuisse
  
  aromas of roasted red meat, roasted root veggies, iris, red fruit, citrus, cloves and baking spice
  
  silky and rich rich texture upfront, but falls a little short on the finish, lively and fresh overall
  
  mature and savory, quite nice
  
  guess: Chambolle 1999

  April 8, 2020 - Perfectly mature bourgogne. Sweet, silky fruit (ripe strawberries, raspberries, lingonberries and sloan) sous bois, truffle, iron tinged minerals, a light touch of charcuteries and a lovely, tingling spiciness that is especially prominent on the long, savoury finish. Good acidity, tannins resolved, great complexity and balance. Perhaps at times borderline thin fruitwise and a touch greenish, but overall a very good showing. No need to wait further.

  November 30, 2019 - Same notes as the last bottle, drinking very well now with great fruit and balance. Dark cherry, savory notes, long and pleasant finish. Lovely.
