Community Tasting Note

• HowardNZ Likes this wine:

  January 4, 2015 - Chambolles and others at Mike and Cathy's: Served blind to me, this seemed clearly a Grand Cru Chablis, from a riper year. A fresh, marine nose of salt, seashells, chalk and minerals. However, there are other atypical Chablis notes of almond croissant, exotic fruits, mixed nuts and mealiness. Less clearly Chablis on palate. Quite rounded, ripe and rich, with real Grand Cru depth and power. However, although lower acid than many Chablis, there is still sufficient acid here to retain focus (but leading Nick to ask, 'Did they acidify this wine?'). The flavours were peaches and pears, some rock melon, blanched almonds, lemons and minerals. Still quite primary and clenched on mid palate, with a long, dry finish. Premox aside, I don't see this wine making old bones but I would hold for 3-5 years.
