Community Tasting Notes

Community Tasting Notes (2) Avg Score: 85.5 points

  • Ruby red of medium intensity. Typically Bourgogne in character displaying good depth and an elegant balance between oak and fruit. The initial masculinity from the animal, roasting elements channels the nose into a refined spcied fruit and floral dimension with reminiscences of pan d'epices and violet. The attack is fresh, the spice and fruit (sour cherry) elements are fully reproposed on the mid-palate. Tannins are grainy and wll integrated. The finish reveals a balanced extraction. Rebuy: yes

  • Dark ruby with violet reflections. The nose offers a typical Bourgougne character and some degree of complexity. Spirit-soaked cherries and animal notes donate the wine a good aromatic balance. At the background are spices and subdued roasting hints. On the palate is light-bodied but flavour packed, still cherry at the forefront. Well balanced now but could keep a couple of years. Especially good with food (as any wine). Overall for CHF16 I found this very good value.
