Community Tasting Note

Saturday, December 10, 2016 - Youthful, but very open nose. Extremely generous and perfumed. Both red and dark fruit that intermingles. Smoky oak, exotic spices, indish bazaar and ginger. Extremely layered and deep. Gun-powder and richness. So much hidden here. Multi-dimensional and very complex. The perfume is haunting and almost parody-like. Stunning nose!
Fullish, densed, complete, rich and balanced palate. Very, very spicy and intense. Absolutley silky tannins. A wonderful length and intensity. Very good grip. Absolutely no disturbing edges anywhere. An incredible purity and perfume.
A tribute to Clive Coates' words that one of the joys of Burgundy is that they are so delicious to drink in their youth. But of course this wine will be even more complex in 10-20 years. The chances for our tasting group coming together in 2036 are slim however, therefore we tasted this iconic wine now instead...
