Community Tasting Note

Sunday, July 30, 2017 - Kelly’s 61st - Champ, Monfortino, Burgundy and a ringer ('14 Summum) (The Grill Room at the Rosewood DC): Beautiful intense bright yellow color which is very promising. Exquisite fully mature Burgundy nose that we all love, decadent yellow fruit, lemon curd, yellow peach, light caramel, lanoline, limestone and a hint of creme brulee. Gorgeous fully integrated palate, ripe orchard fruit and crème brulee, slightly lacking acidity which is typical of the 92, good mineral presence and a lovely long delicious yellow fruit driven finish. With a half hour of air, the nose becomes very mineral a la wet stone. The nose reminds Eric, Ravneau and I agree wholeheartedly. The palate however remains reach and ever so slightly flat. The nose constantly changes back and forth from Chablis like mineral to decadent yellow fruit. However, the palate remains constant. Slightly lacking acidity keeps the wine from flirting with perfection.
