Community Tasting Notes 3

  October 5, 2023 - Let the wine slow-ox for 3 hours. Very fragrant, with red fruit, graphite, and cedar. Quite open with tons of concentration on the palate. No shame in drinking now but I would prefer to give this more time for oak to integrate. Really lovely though

  September 3, 2021 - I had this about a year ago and I definitely do not recall this being as closed as it was tonight. Decanted 500 ml and left the rest in bottle, the decanter definitely helped this one out. This always showed a bit of reduction but less reduced out of the decanter. The front palate also showed a bit more out of the decanter. Initially black cherry and tarry but with air, this became redder in fruit. But man was this dry and tannic. Very peppery, dark minerals, medium-full body, meatiness. This was not about elegance at all. Chewy, mouth-drying tannins. No sense of new oak on this. Will improve with time.

  June 22, 2016 - Wednesday Cellar Visits in Burgundy - Chateau de Meursault and Domaine des Croix (Cote d'Or): Barrel tasting at the domaine. From a vineyard adjacent to Les Vignes Franches. My favorite of the Beaune cuvees tasted, this has the greatest intensity and balance, with the mineral notes coming through. There is not a lot of this, but it will be worth seeking out.
