Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 13, 2012 - Lovely to gaze at: straw, sun and shimmer, but it goes a bit downhill from those admittedly high expectations. The nose offers little at first, but gives up a hint of honeysuckle sweetness and citrus after some time in the glass. The wine leaves me less than elated at this stage, perhaps needs more time in the bottle but I am cautious given Latour's lighter style but then again the wine's minerality bodes well in this regard. I cannot complain that the classic Puligny elements of green apple, citrus and stone are not present, but there's no "wow" factor with this wine, at least thus far. It lacks lushness and depth, to my palate.
