Community Tasting Note

Thursday, March 30, 2017 - 2004 Burgundy Grand Cru Dinner (Holland Park): One of the few wines that still showed a clear tinge of greenness, but this was pleasurable nonetheless. The nose was were the green came out most, with leafy vegetable notes and a touch of raw woodiness shading more perfumed red fruit and flower aromas underneath. Just a bit distracting I thought. The palate was a lot better thankfully. It had very lifted acidity that lent its red fruited notes of sweet raspberries and strawberries a lovely purity. With time, a lovely blush of spice also started blooming beyond the midpalateh. Unfortunately, there was just a hint of bitter herb and drying tannins that left the finish awkwardky truncated, awkward at finish; otherwise, this was a very pleasurable wine that it probably drinking near peak.
