Community Tasting Note

NYC_Maenad Likes this wine:

Tuesday, May 12, 2020 - First of a nice parcel purchased in France a while ago. Opened 15 min before dinner, served in Riedel vinum burg stems, allowed to open in the glass. This poured a gorgeous true burgundy red, not a hint of purple, clear and vibrant from core to rim. The nose was delightful - cherries and raspberries, some exotic spices, a light floral note. In the mouth the balance was very impressive, with great acid verve and drive. More medium bodied and restrained than Beaux Monts sometimes is, very compelling crunch and snap to the mouth feel. I have more of this, thank goodness, and expect it has some good upside and will be beautiful for at least another 10 years, probably a lot more. Drank over the course of almost 2 hours, over which time it spread out a bit and softened, but retained that vibrant acid and exuberant finish. Excellent burgundy for the price. Old school but not harsh or austere. Loved it.
