Sunday, March 14, 2021 - Really loving this version of the LH&S. It has all the typical trappings of a youthful Aubert chard, and I have previously characterized this bottling as the most citric/cool climate of the lineup. So, 2019 takes that a step further with regard to acidity. I have not had an Aubert with this much cut, and yet, it still achieves that mouth coating, tropically leaning fruit profile. Think kiwi and unripe pineapple against a backdrop of high quality, judicious French oak. Crazy delicious and it has great cellar potential. Alcohol is 15.2 (?) but tastes a degree lower than that.
The white burgundy fans that sometimes characterize these wines as over the top should really revisit this bottling or Eastside.
