  Doft: outspädd äpplejuice och vinäger.
  Smak: lätt, mineralrik till en början med citron och hint av stenfrukt. Avslutningen är mer kraftfull, lite stram och koncentrerad med juicekoncentrat och vinäger (även här), men fortfarande med en viss elegans.
  
  Lite för lite kropp, men annars är detta ett fascinerande och eget vin på alla sätt. Gillar!

  I've worked in wine for a number of years now, and the fact that I can only describe this bottle heuristically through its resemblance to more conventional wines will hopefully convey what a perplexing, singular creature this is. Decanted for several hours before drinking. Aromatically this would have had me guessing Chenin Blanc in a heartbeat: waxy, floral, just a hint of mustiness. You could have told me a top cru in Savennieres and I wouldn't have doubted for an instant. But on the palate, instead of fleshy Chenin richness a cascade of acidity sweeps down your tongue and lets you know that you're nowhere near the Central Loire. After that the combination of intense minerality, angular savory cut, and high-toned citrus calls to mind nothing so much as Danube Valley Gruner Veltliner from a cooler vintage, back before the current rash of blockbuster 14% wines. The finish is long, with breeding and purity to make you wince. You may notice that at no point have I even mentioned another variety in the Pinot family for comparison. That's because there's no resemblance here to any of those grapes, at least as I know them. This Pinot Gouges (or Pinot Musigny) is entirely its own thing - literally a freak - Pinot Noir in Henri Gouges's vineyards that lost its pigmentation and in the process became a chameleon and a blind taster's nightmare. And a delicious one at that.

  Taste at Elysian. Not too impresed.
  High acidity showing very light tropical and some lemon zest notes.
  Quite light bodied. Just not a whole lot of substance as a whole.
  Palate falls short. Not too much going on aromatically either. Dissapointing.
