Tasted Sunday, November 14, 2021 by AllRed with 118 views
The Sunday group gathered for our regular double blind tasting. In this group, we are presented a couple of double blind warm ups before the main flight. The warm ups are discussed & unveiled before moving on to the themed main flight. We spent forty five minutes or so tasting and evaluation the eight wines for the main flight before ranking the wines and then making guesses as to what we were tasting. Wines are ranked 1-8, one point for each place, and then unveiled from last place to first place. After the tasting, dinner is served with the additional wines brought by the group, nonblind. For this tasting we had twelve tasters and the cost, courtesy of a very generous discount from our host, was $50.
It was immediately clear that we had a flight of Burgundy, the only discussion centered around vintage and whether or not these was a more specific theme within Burgundy.
With pasta, beef and vegetables and cookies.
Many thanks to N for his continued generosity and showing wines we otherwise never would have tasted.
2019 Domaine Sylvain Langoureau Saint-Aubin Blanc
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Saint-Aubin
Double blind. Stone, apple and mineral notes on the nose and palate. Has a richness to it, but there’s also good underlying acidity. Guessed Burgundy.
