Community Tasting Notes 1

  January 5, 2021 - 12,5% alcohol. Tasted fully blind in a "Burgundy or not Burgundy?" tasting.
  
  Translucent pomegranate red with an evolved mahogany hue. Developed, somewhat oxidative nose with aromas of raisins and prune, some beef jerky, light notes of bouillon, a little bit of sweet cranberry sauce, a hint of wood bark and a sweeter touch of syrupy richness. The wine is firm, acid-driven and light-to-medium-bodied on the palate with somewhat oxidative flavors of raisins, some syrupy tones, a little bit of pruney dark fruit, light fruity notes of lingonberries and wizened raspberries, a hint of tangy salinity and a touch of bloody game. Overall the taste feels a bit past its peak, but the structure is definitely there, thanks to the high acidity and moderately grippy medium-plus tannins. The finish is very long, very evolved and slightly oxidative with fully tertiary flavors of wizened red plums, crunchy cranberries, some raisiny fruit, light beef jerky tones, a little bit of tangy salinity, an oxidative hint of soy sauce and a touch of earth. The firm tannins lend a moderately grippy note to the aftertaste.
  
  A very mature and enjoyably structured Chambolle-Musigny that is slowly turning quite oxidative. Shows good firmness, grit and intensity, but the fruit department is getting a bit tired. Still quite enjoyable now and many people in the tasting seemed to love the wine, but for me it was getting already past its peak - I can imagine I would've scored the wine higher had I tasted it some 5 years ago. Tasting this alongside Deiss Burlenberg 1999, I guessed this wine was the not Burgundy out of these two wines - my guess was an extracted new world Pinot Noir, 10-15 years old. While still offers some pleasure, I wouldn't say the wine isn't worth the 80€ anymore - or then we had just a prematurely aged bottle.
