Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 22, 2019 - A semi opaque deep ruby-red. On night one at Tilia we opened this and started drinking 10 minutes later. This needed a lot more air then I could likely even have given it on night one. It was nearly everything wine drinkers didn't like about the plodding pre 1990s Pommards of the past. It was dense, brooding and lacking in any semblance of Burgundian nuance. Foursquare and blunt on night one with only some savory notes popping through the prominent tannins. I took the little over 1/2 btl home and tried it again tonight. WOW! the storm clouds parted and what an evolution overnight! Tonight, on night 2 this had majestic, nose diving, autumnal aromas along with loads of spice. Still robust and masculine in style and weight this was now showing the promise everyone keeps waiting for these '05s to show. Elegant, pure, confident, defined and layered nuance tonight. Expansive, penetrating suave layers of; black raspberry, cinnamon, minerals and forest floor on a much more exciting flavorful palate. This went from a nearly un-scoreable wine on the first night at Tilia to a near rock star on night 2. 93pts+ on 2nd night. Still some left that I'll try again tomorrow night.
