Friday, September 18, 2020 - I've reacently read of sevral other people having problems with bad corks on Duplessis' wines, but in my limited experience I've never had any problem with this. There were however some seepage through the cork on this one, and I got quite worried. But I still opend it and upon smelling and tasting it there were no obvious signs of oxidation.
The wine was clare and had a pale yellow in color without any sediments. Had it been very oxidized I would have expected it to be a stronger yellow.
On the nose it was very aromatic. Typical Chablis aromas of oysters, a sort of salty seabreeze and seaweed character and green appels. There were also alot of herb aromas, especialy anisseeds.
Medium body, nice acidity and very long.
Very complex and has a very nice consentration.
Although I can find no clear signs of oxidation, the wine seems abit "tierd". Compared to a 2015 Laurent Tribut Chablis 1er Cru Beauroy i had a few weeks ago wich were so full of life, there seems to be something that's not quite right about this Duplessis MdT. I will definetly be checking the corks on other bottels I have, and perhaps open them fairly soon.
