| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 6 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Bagwhat on 4/4/2023 & rated 93 points: Popped and poured into a Glasvin Universal. Cellared with me since purchase.
Initially shy, a few minutes in the glass, and it wakes from its slumber. A warm nose of surprisingly fresh apple without even a hint of oxidation, hints of salted almond, cream, and fresh ginger swirl precisely, easily picked out over and over again. The palate is remarkably seamless. Not a single strand out of place. The flavors are layered, fruit then herb then spice. It teeters just on the edge of flab but then you find the acid tucked in, rounding the corners driving forward. The texture is like kinetic sand, smooth until you pay it attention and it suddenly firms. The finish fans out, sprinkling the fruit with salt, and keeping you wanting more.

Apple cider, lemon rind, and saline and savory spice notes on the medium finish, with strong minerality/acidity. This is an excellent value at a bit over $20.

Gorgeous aromatics of bright salty air, floral perfume notes of dried almond and olive oil, some lemon curd, lime zest, rocky minerals. Such depth and richness on the palate but it's crisp and nervy throughout, with saline, oyster shell, chalk and complex nut and floral tones to balance the lime, yellow apple and apricot fruit. Such depth and precision with a long life ahead. I'll make sure to retaste in another year or three. (770 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 2/23/2017 & rated 93 points: Gold color. Fascinating nose, a combination of airy, salty, floral with richer honey and lemon oil notes, mixed in with some raw almond and ginger. Creamy texture, brisk acidity, juicy yellow apple fruit, drizzled with lime. Doused in chalk, saline, mineral, oyster shell, with white tea, clover, ginger, honeycomb – lots going on here. Gorgeous stuff, year-in-year-out, but I’m loving this bottle more than any other I’ve had.

Very enjoyable, low to moderate oak, and a slightly oxidized finish, giving it a nutty taste. (825 views) | | | Tasted by Jmjhdicus on 10/30/2016 & rated 92 points: Loved it! (785 views) |

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comJuraA petite and relatively obscure wine region in eastern France, between Burgundy and the Swiss border. Its geographical isolation has helped it to remain a rare bastion of traditional winemaking techniques, and today it produces some of the most distinctive wines in the world. Reds from the Jura are often light-bodied, earthy, berried, and reminiscent of the village wines of Burgundy (though here they are made of local grapes like Poulsard and Trousseau). While Chardonnay features widely, the true specialty of the region is the Vin Jaune (“yellow wine”) made from the white Savagnin grape. Cloudy, difficult Vin Jaune is made only in the best vintages, and must be aged for at least six years before being released. As it ages under a layer of yeast, known locally as “voile,” the wine slowly oxidizes, leading to complex aromas and flavors that range from walnut skin to sultana to spices and truffles. Famously long lived it is always sold in dumpy 62 cl bottle - the wine lost in production having been taken by les anges.
