Community Tasting Note

Saturday, January 30, 2016 - Sushi at Aoki. Bright red, clear, vibrant and just beautiful. This was an ethereal wine. The nose just took my breath away. Red roses, so elegant yet intensly perfumed, sweet cherries, raspberries, red kiwi along with lots of Arabian spice, truffle, broiled beef shin, forest floor. The nose was extremely complex. Palate had good acidity and structure for a 1987, but this wine stood out for its elegance more than power. There was just such an amazing avalanche of bright red fruit - red kiwi, cherries, strawberries. Manuka honey, chocolate milk, mocha, truffle, marzipan completed the experience. With an extended time in glass, there seemed to be more red tea, forest floor and tobacco, so perhaps an indication it would be in a perfect drinking window now. This is just a wine that needs to drunk on its own, and what an experience. A truly brilliant le Chambertin, and just shared happily with my 3 close pals.
