Community Tasting Notes 4

    March 28, 2021 - Quite a bit of brett lends meaty, savoury, gamey notes and a touch of horseshit over blackberries and brambles that get prettier with time, slightly chalky and dusty spices as well. Juicy medium plus intensity acidity, savoury, black and red fruit, again that Brett note, touch of alcohol warmth on the finish, funky but okay.

    May 18, 2017 - 2010 Domaine des Croix Corton-Grèves (France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Corton Grand Cru) Coravin into Riedel Burgundy stem, warming from cellar temp (53F). Noticeable searching to the nose. Small but numerous tears suggest a liquescent texture but considerable alcohol. Rose colored but transparent-translucent with a 3 mm edge fade. Nose is strongly integral, resisting being picked apart analytically, but built on floral notes, vanillin, a mild tarriness, and fresh cherry pulp, quite harmoniously expressive; I sometimes get a good whiff of what Borolo calls 'black tea', but it's tea of very high quality. Lissome, with sweet-tart-bitter fruit complex and a full back of the throat expressiveness, caressing texture; tannins exquisitely fine and nearly completely resolved. There is a perceptible spiciness to the finish that promises more development with age.

    From Impitoyable: again a fine searching aroma, filling the nearby room with the enticing scent of fine red Burgundy. Color now appears a little more deep and purple. A distinct sweet-fruit aroma is added to the above, making the nose delicate and enticing, but again, still resistant to analysis and even accurate language about the experience. (Fine Burgundy has done this to me before: a simple Louis Latour Bourgogne Rouge 1978 in the early 1980s nearly drove me crazy trying to express what I was sensing!) Less juicy and less tarry than from the Riedel. The wine, now a little warmer, has more punch, but still is very fluid in the mouth and the tannins nearly imperceptible if you don't know what you're looking for. One of those wines that turn a wine lover into a Burgundy fanatic, but I've come to know that this has more to do with how a particular bottle performs on a particular occasion than the inherent quality of the wine. I've concluded that this is one of these 'fruit coats the tannins' wines, which would put it into early adolescence. May or may not get into a moody teenage period. Very tough to judge exactly where this is.

    Drink now-2022 but might hold beyond for those who like their game hung till the head parts from the body. 94/100. 13.5 pabv. Bouteille no. 0810.

    Served with roasted Cornish hen with potatoes and a dried cherry cognac sauce on Jackie's birthday, also the day after with same food; also matched very well with dolmas I made here.

    November 30, 2016 - Carafed for 1 hour and lovely aromatics of blackcurrant, black tea, some burnt ash and some stems that are almost integrated.
    Good structure and bite that one would expect from this vintage and site and good balanced tannins. Not shut down yet.

    May 22, 2013 - Deep, nearly opaque color. Stunning nose–complex and seductive. Palate too is stunningly detailed with rich , balanced and haunting fragrance. “Grand Cru quality here ( I was right on this point) but unlikely I thought since I had this pegged as a Cotes de Nuits wine (as no Grand Crus from CdN were in the line-up; wrong). Long and sumptuous even now. A must taste NOW wine , if you have not already, before it shuts down. Fresh and still delightful the next day. WOW!
