Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 1, 2018 - Dinner for Wayne and Hannah ('96 and '02 Burgs, '82 Lagune etc): Again, paired with the 2002. The Ligniers were excellent but the Anne Gros pair, to me anyway, represented a step up in quality. It's hard to compete with that Richebourg terroir ... The 1996 threw major sediment. A little lighter colour than the 2002. The best bouquet of the four Burgs. Kaleidoscopic layers of florals, herbs, minerals and more developed, savoury notes. On palate, clean and pure but dense and powerful. 1996 acidity present but now seamlessly integrated. Refined and elegant. Beautifully balanced and proportioned. Serious tannic structure but not showing too much new oak. Just beginning to hint at secondary development. Again, it'll be better in five years. On the night, my and Nick's WOTN.
