Community Tasting Notes 45

  August 26, 2022 - Very round and much more of a mouthful. It's got lots of the lovely honey. A bit more of a muscular wine esp for a white wine. There's depth to it. Drank next to the 2014 and what surprised me the most is how close the two really were. Not sure I would have been able to tell you what the extra ten years of age did in the wine (although having been lucky enough to try back to the '66 in these I can tell you age does lots and does help). This is a very hearty wine though and this is still drinking quite young.

  October 29, 2020 - Amane. Oh man, was this ever green. After 3 bottles of white burgundy and paired with sushi, this was absolutely jarring, and not in a good way. As if a New Zealand cat pissed in my glass. I'm not a huge sauvignon blanc fan in general (and this vintage is majority sauvignon blanc), but this is a particularly tough rendition of Ygrec. If you can get past all the green, the acidity seemed fine.

  October 29, 2020 - Not very enjoyable. No flaws, just unexpressive and boring. Cat pee and skunks come to mind.

  February 12, 2020 - This seemed to be a favorite from the white flight among many of the tasters - and also the first time many had tried the Ygrec. For me it was my least favorite of the flight. Too much Sauv Blanc character for my palate - I shared my pour with the birthday pour and focused on the two Viogniers. I am hoping that some additional cellar time will result in more development and will hold my remaining bottle for at least another 5 years.

  February 12, 2020 - Celebrating 60 (The NoMad): One of my favorites of the flight. It is the dry form of D'Yquem which means you get all of the complexity and interest without all of the sweet. That works pretty well for me. Again more of a bigger white and to me a white wine that is made for a red wine drinker's palate (more complex, more full bodied).
