Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 9, 2014 - Bordeaux matters, along with Burgundy and Champagne and Port and ... (Ripple Restaurant in Washington D.C.): One of my very favorite wines of the evening. This exuded weight and opulence without ever being heavy. Although marked by an initial delicate texture - very fine bubbles - the wine seems driven by Pinot Noir here, almost like a red wine, with crystalline red fruit expressions. And yet, very fresh with a touch of forest floor, toffee like notions and citrus fruit. I love the structure and full body on the mid palate leading to a lingering, lifting finish.
