Community Tasting Note

Sunday, May 10, 2020 - Another on our list of Singles in the Cellar. Gave this a bit of air before consuming alongside roast chicken. Very old school Gevry nose with darker fruits, wood spice, some barrel toast, a little dustiness. The palate is lean and on the dry side. There's a good deal of burgundy goodness here, but in a very austere style that a lot of people who don't think they like burgundy think of as typical. And it is typical, just not the only kind of typical. I think this wine is one of many 96's that simply don't have the fruit to ever blossom into something I'd consider balanced maturity. The structure continues to dominate as the fruit fades. We enjoyed drinking this, but did not find a great deal of joy in it. The toasty notes combined with the dryness was a challenge, though the nose remained compelling. If you're waiting for magic here, I don't think it's every going to happen.
