Saturday, March 29, 2008 - Judgment of Chicago - California Cab vs White Burgundy (Streeterville Neighborhood, Chicago IL): Tasted as part of the ”Judgment of Chicago WLTV Offline” Tasting at one of our esteemed offline colleague’s residence in Chicago on March 29th, 2008. The purpose was to compare and contrast 14 high-end California Chardonnays and White Burgundies side-by-side in a double blind tasting.
Sight: Light straw color
Nose: Honey; Lychee; Malo butter notes; Oak
Taste: High acid, but still excellent; Medium to heavy body
Overall: Great wine, but heat/acid a bit out of balance and seems like it needs some additional age and then it should come together! (91 pts.)
