Community Tasting Note

PGIF Likes this wine:

Saturday, January 18, 2020 - I agree with the excellent descriptions given by the recent reviewers, with one caveat. I think the wine has reached its plateau of maturity and has little or nothing to gain by continued cellaring. The color (pale gold) is appropriate for a 10-year-old chardonnay, i.e. it is getting on in its evolution. It is nothing like a wine from the Côte d’Or, nor do I think it will ever be. Rather, it strikes me as a steely Chablis with a minerality more akin to a top flight Sancerre than a Burgundy. There was a small deposit of tartrate crystals on the cork, although the bottle was not subjected to particularly cold temperatures. I like the wine but I’m partial to acid and minerals. This may not be everyone’s cup of tea.
