Community Tasting Notes 2

  • MadsW wrote: 90 points

    April 27, 2024 - First day of opening i found it much too tight and very closed up. After a night opened, it developed pear notes and the malo shines through much clearer. Vanilla, green apples and pears. A pretty backbone of acidity keeps it all in check into a long finish.

    To reflect and put this into perspective of my tasting trip in NZ; This is a more defined take on NZ chardy, as many other domaines will make a very burgundish take on the grape. This is bright and alive in comparison.
    I wouldn't age longer than 5 years though.

    February 28, 2024 - Slightly cloudy fuzzy, not totally clear. Funky nose, rotten peaches. Really linear, touch of sweetness, small bright fresh white raspberries. Not much of a finish. 92-93. Really exquisite winemaking. I will try to age mine and see how things develop. This winemaker is one to watch.
