Community Tasting Note

Friday, December 29, 2023 - 12/29/23 Shmoné. Lyndon blinded us side by side with 2009 Drouhin Griotte. Both were served overly chilled, esp griotte which was uncharacteristically shut down. The goal was to find the only commonality between the two, which were showing very differently… I was the only one who got it right that they were from the same vintage, though I called it 2014. I thought faiveley ech was a Bachelet 2014 charmes which is quite expressive now but displays pronounced oak and the drouhin griotte a 2014 Duroche Latricieres which is red fruited and better integrated. I obviously preferred the drouhin griotte but faiveley ech was a real surprise. my bias would be for it to show less expressive, though the pronounced oak is par for the course.
