Community Tasting Note

Sunday, January 21, 2024 - This one took 3+ hours in the decanter to harmonise. In the first hour, the heavy toast oak characters overwhelmed everything. Now, aromas of sous bois, heavy toast oak, but on the palate the dark fruit characters have now emerged and melded with the oak treatment. Still fairly sturdy structurewise, with some grippy tannins remaining, moderate acidity. Unsure which direction this will go. For a vineyard that is adjacent to the great Musigny, this wine did not reflect the characteristics of its exalted neighbour.

It appears one might improve the quality by careful process of opening. I prefer to allow the wine to mature in the bottle rather than to speed development with hours in a decanter.

My 2005 Burgundy are mostly set aside for further cellaring, however this was the only bottle of pinot noir around and duck was being served for dinner, so this bottle was called into service. I hope your bottles of 2005 Bertagna turn out well in future.
