Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, March 3, 2010 - Symmetry Dinner (Table 66, Tras Street): Fabulous. Second time I've had a Chardonnay from Cullen, and I have been bowled over both times. Age has somewhat blurred the distinction between old and new world here, so this could well be a very ripe Burg. For one thing, this was a lot more Burg-like than the Corton Charlemagne we had alongside. Lovely nose, full of nutty, toasty scents, along with almond skins, a saline, sea-spray accent and some ripe yellow fruit all buttressed by some chalky mineral. Lowish acidity on the palate, but still very well balanced overall. Plenty of structure and grip too. Lots of richness here, but also plenty of layered depth, with sweet lemon notes, ripe red apples, yellow fruited peach tones and a bit of savoury button mushrooms. Finish had a nice length, with sweet flowers, slightly candied pineapple and some spice and mineral hints. A lovely wine, very full and complete, and extremely delicious. Drinking nicely now, but I can see this going strong for some time yet.
