Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 6, 2014 - PnP. Very bright, very deep rich cranberry red, beginnings of bricking, very dark meniscus, some paleness on the rim, barest of hint of beginning oranging. Subdued, sexy, very high quality nose of mysterious ripe dark cherry fruits, with almost a varnishy quality - like baked cherry pie, complete with spices in Grandma's kitchen, with background faint notes of old hardwood and furniture polish. Last nose like this was an 01 Chevillon LStG in 08 - indicating youth and quality. On the palate this has forward, simple, sweet, easy, bright red cherries, and a longgg finish. Not much sign of tannins or even protruding acidity at this point. It might be easy to mistake this as a simple red, but for the nose and length. My sense is this has lots in reserve, but is significantly less closed or clumsy than other 05 CdNuit reds right now. Interesting. More to come as the night unfolds. 92ish right now.

Later - Very, very clean wood and wine making. There's magic here. This is still developing, but, alas, is still a village wine. (That wants to behave like a brilliantly made high end premier cru, but in the end, isn't.) Spectacular for its level. Has another decade or so, not much more. Maybe the best village Burgundy I've ever tasted. 93pts
