Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 31, 2020 - Is this even real life? The moment I poured this I didn't really know what to expect judging by the deep golden yellow in the glass. I thought "okay, this might be over the peak already". But you know what they say - assumptions are the mother of all fuckups. To start with the nose first - loads of oak (definitely needs decanting) with the ripe tropical fruit laying underneath. The palate is full-on creamy and broad, but with a superbly linear string of acid that carries the whole wine to another level. It makes it tastes like a 5-year-old Chardonnay, not one that's two decades old. Long finish with a note of banana that I found really appealing. Montrachet doesn't get better than this and rarely does any Chardonnay for that matter.
