Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 8, 2014 - The wine is clear and bright with a deep garnet colour and presence of legs. The nose is clean and developing, showing medium+ intensity aromas of dark cherries, dark plums, dry roses, liquorice, clove, cedar, vanilla, walnuts and hints of truffles. The wine is dry in the mouth with a medium+ acidity. It has medium+ coarse tannins and a medium+ alcohol. It has a medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavours of dark cherries, dark plums, dry roses, liquorice, vanilla and walnuts. The finish is medium+.

It is a very good quality wine with a very nice fruit concentration, and very decent finish and a nice complexity provided by oak ageing and some floral and maturity notes. However it lacks typicity, it's Pinot with steroids, too modern in style and the varietal character is slightly masked by the medium-toasted oak aromas. Anyway it's a quite enjoyable wine, but no exactly what I'm looking for in a Burgundy. The vintage did not help, though. Can drink now, but it has enough acidity, tannic structure and fruit concentration to develop more complex aromas in the next 10+ years.
