Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 23, 2012 - HDH auction tasting at Tru; 6/22/2012-6/23/2012 (Chicago, IL): It's not often you find your day completely changed by a glass of wine. This is one of those wines that will do it. Immensely complex but muted nose with some hints of coconut and macadamia. Evokes the BPO playing pianissimo at the ending of the third movement of Beethoven's Fifth -- this is the universe resounding in harmony, ready to explode into fireworks. What can be said about the flavour? It has the richness of Meursault balanced by a piercing arrow of peachy acidity, and a finish that goes on forever. It's somehow both rich and sweet and clean and mineral at the same time. I won't give this a 100 because I can't even begin to imagine what the Corton-Charlemagne would taste.
