Community Tasting Note

Monday, December 25, 2017 - Drank it at dinner with friends in Brussels. The wine was bought at auction 10 years ago and has been store in temperature controlled conditions ever since. Fully mature, classic Burgundy stinky nose of tea, truffles, and burnt bacon fat. The colour was red, with only a little amber on the edges. On the mouth, the wine was seamless, fully mature, classic cherry tea smoke and truffles flavors with no signs of cracking up. It was almost monolithic, making me wonder if a village wine would need time? Classic 1996 - still a bit closed and making me wonder if they will ever open up fully. The finish left lingering notes of tea and truffles but ended somewhat abruptly. A great bottle for a village wine and clearly keeping well. You can see Lalou Bize's touch on the winemaking(and her signature on the label).
