Community Tasting Notes 4

  August 12, 2018 - Golden yellow colour. Nose not overly fruity, more spicy. Palate has some yellow apples, but also the spiciness from the nose. Crisp, more acidic than the typical Chardonnay, clean finish. Enjoyable, but compared to earlier bottles seems to have lost a bit of the fruit (and all of the oak) and hence a bit more one dimensional. 87-88 p this time around.

  December 23, 2017 - Very nice. Compared to the bottle a bit more than a year ago, I now find the oak completely integrated, the wine in general just that bit rounder, while still very crisp and clean. Like it a lot.

  October 7, 2016 - PnP. Initially a bit heavy on the oak, but given 30 minutes things settled down nicely. Rich fruit, more acidity than I would normally associate with an oaked Chardonnay. I find some grapefruit, provides a nice balance with the residual oak. Quite enjoyable.

  February 27, 2016 - Tasty, with some body, decent fruit and that zingy Jura chard note reverberating through the palate. But, alas, no magic and no complexity to speak of. Compare to some unoaked, juicy Cali chard as well as some crispy oyster loving Chablis village, this is a little overpriced. At least in sweden, that is. It might be that this needs some years in the cellar, but as always, I calls'em like I sees'em.
