| TASTING NOTE: It's always a gift to taste older Burgundy and righteously so from 1998. From the \"Collection Bellenum\" by Nicolas Potel and a nearly 20-year old bold and intact Santenay from what began as a surly vintage. Remnants of certainly once firm, gritty, rustic red fruit now cured like pinot noir gravlax meets bresaola. Carries through with a musty tone and still the acidity rages and circles the fruit wagon. Still some tannin (say, four years left) and a wisdom Santenay would not always have been able to foreshadow. Great gamey finish with Burgundian voice and vice grip tension. Drink 2017-2020. Score - 91 (Michael Godel, winealign.com, March 16, 2017) |
