Community Tasting Note

Friday, September 9, 2022 - Further to my Note of July 17, '14: this is #6-7 from the case. I missed this wine's quality eight years ago when I had tasted very little Burgundy; I've had 3-4 bottles since then, esp recently. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Medium ruby; fragrant red fruit nose, some red cherry, hint of oak that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel; some persistence. Burgundian and delicious. Glad to have a few more. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. Quality, price, age: Notable+. (In '14, I pretended that I could rate wines on the popular 100-pt scale that would others would understand, but I've since realized the folly of that. Since then, I've adopted a four-category scale (with +/-)--poor to outstanding--with descriptors reflecting my opinion of the wine as I've experienced it.)
