Community Tasting Notes 8

  June 17, 2017 - Rather advanced bricking made me fear I had let this (well-stored) wine sit far too long, but then once my nose got within three finger-widths of the glass I could smell its lovely bouquet, and knew I had a winner. No, the wine is not profound, but it certainly delivered all one could ask of a villages (albeit lieu-dit) Burg from an unheralded vintage. Tobacco, strawberry compote and a floral element were distinct aromas on the nose, but it was more enticingly perfumed than any laundry list of smell descriptors might suggest. Nicely balanced on the palate, with resolved tannins, good acidity, some lingering sweet fruit with evolving secondary and tertiary notes, and no hint of greenness. Clearly fully mature, and probably on a downward slope, but still very pleasurable at this time. Apparently this is for all intents and purposes a Hubert Lignier wine. In any case it was a splendid value for $25.
  
  (Coravined over several weeks, then final 1/3 uncorked and consumed before and during dinner.)

  November 17, 2012 - Pretty similar to last bottle. Lots of tobacco on nose. Palate had a touch more fruit than previous bottle. Moderate to high acidity. Solid with food.

  August 1, 2012 - Quite evolved in color and nose. Nose is musky, with some red fruit and tobacco. Palate doesn't quite deliver -- seems a touch muted. But nice balance. Solid.

  Very nice Villages wine from this somewhat maligned vintage.
  Mature appearance with noticeable bricking.
  Warmish nose of seasoned cherries, balance of fruit and acid in harmony. Musky Cigar notes, nice mouth feel and quite a lengthy finish. Feels so ready right now with maybe 3 years at max. A real treat…No points just 4 stars

  January 8, 2010 - Medium brownish garnet. Warm, almost southern rhoneish overtones in this nose, but with a cigar butt character that sets it apart. Nice balance facilitated by juicy ripe acids. A little weird but well done.
