Community Tasting Notes 8

  April 12, 2024 - Wine has an incredible ability to age. The 1988 vintage at 28 years old was absolutely singing. As such, this vintage in 750 is young and demands another 5+ years to open up and express this wonderful terroir. Nose is somewhat closed and with an hour of air begins to open. No rush here and time will reward additional bottle age. Will be great in a decade.

  July 11, 2023 - Magnum. Granted, perhaps better than other vintages, but too overripe and lacking in clarity for the terroir. Tomato. 90

  March 19, 2023 - Needs patience to journey through this wine. Once popped, nose is floral, beautiful, but palate is a 180degree different with high acidity & tightness. Poured 1/3 bottle into decanter while drinking the other portion in large Grand Cru burg glasses. After 3 hr aeration in glasses, body grows bigger, with darker cherries, sweet berries, ripe raspberries, hints of liquorice, sweet spices and Visible OAKS, so much fruits, oak, ripeness, I guessed it was a 2009, i also find it new world in style at this stage too. The decanted portion (5hr in decanter) put you in a different planet - where Grip has turned velvety, all harshness, astringency disappear…as if inside a peaceful botanical garden, surrounded by intoxicating bouquets of roses, violets, flowers, also with Redder cherries, raspberries, berries fruits, earth & Vosne spices…where all the elements come together so harmoniously & well balanced. A beautiful journey.

  August 10, 2021 - Forward and pleasurable nose. Complex from entry to finish. Olives, Cherries, Tea all pulled together thru Vosne spices.
  Deep color. Very rich wine. Paired well with everything we put in front of it. Roasted plum tomatoes with thyme, broccoli rabe garlic olive oil, grilled lamb chops rosemary garlic, La Tur cheese on baguette, almond cocoanut tort. Not bad for Tuesday at home.
