Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 29, 2022 - (Blind tasting)
Deep, yellow-orange color (warning sign!)
Not premoxed, but too advanced for its age...
Mature nose with pear and apricot compot. Modelling clay and vanilla. Gently oaky. Almost honey and some hints of wet stone.
Fullish, mature palate that is a bit too advanced. Fat and spicy. Licorice, apricot compot, cinnamon and pine apple. Too four-square, but concentration is there in spades.
Our tasting group don't buy any more Grand Cru from Fontaine-Gagnard, that's too risky. Their 1er Cru's we buy on release and drink up immediately. Font-Gagn are simply too high on the Premox Risk Scale.
