Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 8, 2018 - Opened an hour prior. Followed over two hours.

I was a bit concerned on seeing an impressive amount of mouldy cork under the capsule and that the cork was moistened across it's length. A quick sip allayed my doubts though and when we got to this an hour later it was singing. Medium to dark yellow and ever so slightly viscous on the pour. Flint, toasted oak and ripe lemons on the nose. Brisk attack, fanning out to a full bodied, exquisitely balanced amalgam of ripe orchard fruits, white flower notes, a mineral acidic spine, and deft use of oak adding a wonderful toasty spice top note.

Really sublime. I would love to have had this in amongst a flight of '02 Grand Crus as I am quite sure it would have outshone a number of them. A producer and bottling to look out for and purchase in long lived vintages. Let it sleep for 15 years and enjoy the magic of white Burgundy.
