Community Tasting Note

octopussy Likes this wine:

Monday, December 30, 2013 - Coulée de Serrant - 1990 - 1999 and more Loire (Huet, Closel, Landron) (Home): Brass colour. In the nose, this is quite unpleasant at first: there's a public toilet smell, wet hay, a LOT of bee's wax, some wet wool. Once you get used to it, there are more pleasant nuances: creamy-spicy notes of Kurkuma and Saffran in cream, cold pipe smoke with vanilla. On the palate, it's absolutely clear and bright with great structure, lively acidity, a bit waxy. Creamy-yellow spicy notes as well. Tonic finish. This wine is the antithesis of fruit, there's a complete absence of anything that would even faintly remind of anything fruity. I love it for what it is.
