Community Tasting Note

VincentMorey Likes this wine:

Friday, July 7, 2023 - Pure class with 13 years of age. Though a bit sharp and a touch alcoholic at this stage, with plentiful dried fruit, a touch of mango that you would find in aged Grand Cru, dried lemon, lemon confit, lemon peel, and that signature pith and almond paste blend that provides a smooth texture and mouth feel. The aromatic bitterness can be a touch overwhelming at times, but gets into the background when you have with richer flavored food. Personally I prefer the 2014 Vaillons. The 2010s for Forest and Vaillons for Dauvissat are at a point where they seem too focused and not as expressive. Perhaps it is a matter of personal taste. Hate to say this but I think I preferred the Jean Paul Benoit Droin Vaillons 2010 tasted last year to this.
