Community Tasting Note

Sunday, February 13, 2022 - Superb owl Sunday (Chicago, IL): An excellent bottle of Gréal from the second best producer on the hill (no prizes for guessing the first). Very structural, without the fruit being too expressive right now. There's definitely a lot of good material here, and you definitely get a good sense of the brineyness and acidic backbone right now. Probably best not to revisit for a decade; I certainly won't be opening any of mine.
