Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 19, 2023 - From 75cl, perfect cork, quick decant off scaly/powdery sediment, best about 45 minutes thereafter. Healthy pale maturing Burgundy colour without orange-brown warning signs. Initially herbal/eucalyptus/ethereal oil notes dominate the nose, but after 1 hour there is some additional attractive clove action. Medium-bodied, sweetish entry, with gentle acid balance, restrained dark-to-black cherry fruit and no tannins discernable. Moreish. Not exactly a bargain at the 94 EUR paid back in 2011, but such a relief finally to enjoy an intact bottle of a 2009 Grand Cru from Camille Giroud, after two disastrous Cortons last week, two faulty Charmes Chambertins less recently, and an insipidly weak bottle of this Latricières in February 2022. Fortunately, this bottle was in a good drinking window, and I just hope the rest of the case turns out to be in similarly acceptable condition. 90-91P
