Community Tasting Notes 11

  November 14, 2021 - Second Sunday Group: 1990 Burgundies (Neil's): Double blind. Similar ruby/clear color as the first two. opens with notes of sour cherry and tea leaf. Balanced, with lovely cherry fruit and mineral. This has a plush velvety quality and my initial thought was Volnay. Seemed to shut down in the glass though, losing some of the depth I was hoping for and remained, for lack of a better term, straightforward, with cherry and mineral qualities. Nothing wrong here, just nothing to get excited about either. Would have loved to revisit this later in the evening, but with 12 tasters and sediment, there was none to be had following the tasting. 88+ pts.
  
  My #7, Domino's #2
  Group #3, 53 pts

  April 19, 2021 - Nez riche, intense sur un fruité très mûr, presque compoté.
  On retrouve cette richesse en bouche qui est dans un registre moelleux, confortable.
  Dommage que cela manque un peu de structure pour tenir l'ensemble, du coup la précision fait un peu défaut.
  Belle finale sur le fruit.
  
  C'est bon notamment grâce à ce fruit exubérant, mais finalement il manque quelque chose, notamment en bouche, pour qu'on se souvienne du vin.

  April 1, 2017 - Wines Tasted at HDH Auction (Tru Restaurant - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. Seemed slightly older to start but rich and ripe with good concentration. Seemingly freshened up with a few more minutes in glass, without losing anything good.

  December 23, 2016 - Basically stored in a fridge since acquisition upon release. Initially a surprising disappointment - closed, ungenerous - just maybe not much. Four hours or so in opened up with a generous silky red fruit flavor on the meaty side taking on weight. Like more than a few 1990's, my guess is more time will get it there.

  April 11, 2016 - Very deep garnet color; purity of rich mature fruit, plummy and autumnal notes; after 45 minutes, continuing to open and really strutting its stuff! Classic iron fist in the velvet glove. Delicious. Natalie poured us this same wine at the Domain a half dozen years ago and this bottle seems just as fresh and wonderful. Completely avoids the over-ripe and roasted quality that befell so many of the 1990 reds burg.
