Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, February 21, 2024 - An enchanting, complex, beguiling bouquet of Christmas spices, wild strawberries, piney-earthy notes, zesty pomegranate, faintly smoky-meaty whiffs, rhubarb and fresh fennel, some stemmy and green peppercorns nuances, and lifted scents like wintergreen and cloves. The nose morphs and shape-shifts with each sniff, whispering its allures sotto voce. The palate is driven by its brightness, which has an almost apple cider flavor with unsweetened cranberries mixed in, but for all its citric tartness, it’s not shrill at all. Somehow, this is regal and seamless, with sneaky layering and length like black tea. Grows and deepens with air. For me, this is ineffably a quintessence of Burgundy, mysterious, subtle, challenging, mesmerizing, elusive, oxymoronic in its shrinking intensities, a will-o-the-wisp of a wine. Wonderful and impossible to reduce to a ‘score’.
