Community Tasting Note

Thursday, February 6, 2014 - Westchester Wine School Premium Burgundy Tasting (Mamaroneck, NY): Drank at WWS tasting blind vs. Jadot Charmes Chambertin 02. Pale red color, showing far more age at edges than expected. Lovely nose of dark fruit & spice. Very potent up front: blackberries, spice with wonderful mouthfeel. Nicely balanced with appropriate acidity level, ripe fruit and good length. A classically styled burg, if a bit young. Many good times ahead for this wine which, though still an infant, showed exceedingly well.
The Jadot Charmes had a deep ruby color, a musty nose that smelled of dirty socks--though its funkiness faded over time in the glass. (On color and nose alone, I mistook this wine for the 2009). Rich and powerful, with loads of ripe fruit, but by no means over the top. More tannic than the Giroud, and a bit more funky, and great length. This wine too I felt still needs a bit more time to develop. I also enjoyed this wine, though perhaps not quite to the same level as the Giroud. Still both were impressive wines and my #2 & #3 red WOTN
