Community Tasting Notes (average 87.6 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by PT insurgent on 1/28/2024: Developed, slightly cidery, "old wine" notes, nutty, wet hay. For me, this bottle was past its best. (123 views)
 Tasted by amateur62 on 10/29/2021 & rated 92 points: Aux Docks, Arbois. PnP. Starts slightly reductive with some flint stone that disappears quickly with some air, mineral and citrus notes, mouth watering acidity, dense and long, very precise and with good tension, superb. Drink now or within the next 5 to 10 years, 92+. (287 views)
 Tasted by kcorkz on 7/16/2017 & rated 85 points: Let og let syrlig, tynd i munden, mangler krop - vandig, ikke meget vielle vigne over den. (858 views)
 Tasted by olalar on 5/18/2017 flawed bottle: Corked. (890 views)

Jura

A 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.
