Community Tasting Notes 2

  August 9, 2015 - #DCInvasion (Chicago, IL): From magnum. This didn't strike me to be as good as the last magnum I opened a few months ago. A few of the characteristics were still present though, a light coffee note and a fair bit of earthy funk that I can only call the terroir of Vougeot. On the other hand, I thought this was lacking a bit of the richness that my previous bottle had. "It's good."

  June 7, 2015 - House Party (Chicago, IL): En magnum (said ironically, of course). This was showing as a well-aged Burgundy should from the get-go, with very fruity character, a smattering of brown spice on the nose, all counterbalanced by a strong whiff of that Burgundian funk. Mushrooms, earth, mulch, it was kind of filthy, but in a good way. The finish still showed some red fruit, and any oak that may have been in this wine when young, has happily integrated away. Silky and giving, there might be upside to further aging, but this is pretty damn good right now.
