Community Tasting Note

Friday, July 25, 2008 - My last bottle of this wine and my last bottle of wine I brought back from my encounter with M. Dagueneau at his winery. This was every bit as distinctive as that encounter. This wine has always had a distinct, focused Ruby Red grapefruit characteristic foremost on the nose and palate. No more. Oh, it’s still there, but it’s way in the background now. The attack commences with mineral, limestone, lime then seamlessly transitions to lemon curd - or is it creamed corn? - and the Ruby Red grapefruit with some boxwood brushed in for complexity. The intensity of the mineral element runs the length of the palate and the long finish. The acidic backbone is still strong carrying the wine effortlessly. If you recall the intensity of the blue eyes of the wolf on this wine’s label, you’ll have an idea of what the palate is like. 12.5% alc. With assorted cheeses of Flur Vert, Affinois, Pont l’Avec and others. See when col comes to town 07.25.08. Highly Recommended.
