Community Tasting Note

Friday, November 9, 2007 - Huet fete part III: Schildknecht comes to town. (Dougherty's.): Starts off with slightly stinky cheese aromas, though in a good way and not terribly atypical for aged Chenin. With air it reveals floral notes with a touch of pine. It's a lighter and more delicate wine than any of the other demi-secs, with razor sharp acidity made more pronounced by the relative lack of sweetness and fruit. Still, there's quite enjoyable honeycomb and mineral flavors backed up by somewhat tart apricot. I think this and the '46 Sec were Keith's favorite wines of the night as they had the highest acidity and least amount of fruit and sugar. It paired very nicely with the goose rillettes as the fat helped tame the acidity and the acidity the goose fat. Low A-.
