Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, January 16, 2022 - Dinner at Mark’s place (Karori, Wellington, NZ): Served double blind by Mark. Popped and poured. Brighter ruby beside the Claude Dugat. A bright red cherry and wild raspberry nose, seeming typical Gevrey-Chambertin. (“That Gevrey animale signature”, said Mark). Before the reveal, I thought of Gevrey and Cazetiers specifically but looking at – what I considered to be – the fairly modern winemaking style I plumped for Faiveley. After the reveal, the restrained, understated, well-made nature of the wine was classic Bruno Clair. Cherries, wild raspberries, soil and minerals. Bright 2013 acids. Good length. Ready to go now, years ahead of it.
