Community Tasting Note

jkscully Likes this wine:

Tuesday, May 2, 2023 - On both days, this needed a solid hour or more to open up. On day 1, I found coconut oil, lanolin, vanilla, hay, and very light caramel, along with pear and apple fruits and attractive minerality. The caramel is really attractive on the finish—so sublte, it’s just perfect. The oak is there without being overbearing. On day 2, less of the creamy flavors and more peach and honey flavors along with sweet anise flavors on the finish. Still good minerality. I actually liked it better on day 1. This wine needed some time to open up and, unfortunately, I drank too much of it too soon, but after a good 2 hours of air, this coul pass for a premier cru Meursault, except it’s a fraction of the price. Great QPR. Seemed to be in a fine spot and could have lasted for several more years.

I opened this on day one at Fin Raw Bar and paired it with oysters and a Macademia nut Orange Roughy. The Orange Roughy was too mild for this wine. On day 2, it was a fantastic match with Spaghetti with Olive oil and Garlic and clams. Best out of Riedel Montrachet.
