Mommessin
Clos de Tart Grand Cru Pinot Noir
Morey St. Denis, Côte de Nuits, Burgundy, France
Disappointing. Have had this wine before and it excelled for the vintage but this bottle was sort of tame. Had I known I’d have def sold it instead of popping the cork.

This was a relatively controversial bottle. One thought it was tainted, a couple others thought it was just youthful and tight. I enjoyed it—fleshy, soy infused, balanced and full of sweet red fruit—but, admittedly, it doesn’t have the verve of the ‘02 I had earlier this year. But still an excellent wine.

Magnum, opened under Coravin, showing a little blunt the first day, but after a couple of days there was a great expression of dark/red berry fruit showing through, drinks so much different to the 750ml, as it looks so much more powerful right now.

A complicated wine. Way too young in my opinion and that made it hard to gage. Stemmy and tannic and deep and dark. Would like to try again in 15-20 years...

Light ruby core and quite light edges , not garnet yet however. More red fruits than black, slightly cool, spicy aromas . Quite sweet fruit nicely balanced by the acidity . Velvety tannins, though still quite grippy. Nice length . A complete wine considering the limitations of the vintage . Drinkable now though will age well I suspect, will be even better in 5 years .
