Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, September 25, 2012 - I remember the first time I ever saw a movie starlet in person from less than 10 feet away, because up until that point I always figured you'd never be able to tell the difference between one of them walking down the street vs. any random young, attractive member of the female sex. Bzzzz, wrong, it turns out that they get the big bucks for a reason, and they really are stunningly beautiful at a level several standard deviations above the girl next door, even if the girl next door was the prom queen. And that's pretty much the same feeling I got drinking the 2009 Fourrier Clos Sorbes. The sheer beauty of this just astounds on every sip. You do not ordinarily get this kind of suavity, seamlessness, and weightlessness out of a Burgundy that doesn't say Grand Cru on the label, and indeed there's a definite family resemblance here to Clos des Lambrays although it's slightly leaner and the fruit complexion more vibrantly red. If one is to invoke a movie starlet this would be an appropriate wine to deploy that old Audrey Hepburn metaphor.
