Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Sunday, April 1, 2018 - Dinner for Wayne and Hannah ('96 and '02 Burgs, '82 Lagune etc): Paired with the 2002, the Ligniers were a classic 1996 v 2002 red Burgundy comparison ... The slightly lighter colour of the two wines. On bouquet, breezy and fresh, you sensed the minerality and acidity of the 1996. Lovely aromatics. Dried herbs, fresh and dried flowers, brushwood, red berries and earth. Drinking it, the leaner, racier wine of the two. More stoney minerality on palate, with raspberry, red cherry and a touch of cranberry. Also, earthy, savoury nuances. Good structure and density. Oak present but well aligned. In its drinking window now. Very good but, to me, a little behind the 2002 in terms of quality.
