Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 25, 2008 - Surprisingly deep yellow in the decanter, this wine developed in an unusual way over the hour or so in which we drank it. At first, I couldn't tell if the tastes and aromas were pointing towards premature oxidation or just a weird variation on that characteristic Chabllis 'swamp water' thing. Then the wine seemed to go completely dead. As I was mentally aligning myself with the growing host of p'ox casualties, a faint hint of flavor began to emerge, like barely audible strings at the beginning of a soft symphony introduction. Another five minutes and my tongue was bathing in a full flow of crystal-clear, finely-etched, minerally intense, medium-bodied wine, smelling of kiwis, lemon, and salty sea breeze, with beautiful balance and a long finish. I wonder how long I could subsist on diet consisting solely of cru Chablis and Beaujolais.
