Community Tasting Note

Saturday, July 11, 2020 - Blinds at Jason Mark III(?): Served double blind. A brute of a wine - this has real heft. On the nose, quite a bit of oak and very tropical notes - guava, tropical flavors. No reduction. The palate is heavy, but not in a California way - more of a "grand cru" sort of way, this had depth and a long slightly tropical finish (the oak tells). The depth made me call this a "grand cru" Meursault (i.e. from a top 1er site), though I thought it was considerably younger. Really defies the vintage, as the acidity and structure belies a 2006 white Burgundy. That said, the oak is still intrusive and the tropical flavors just aren't my thing in white Burgundy. Also the reason why I don't give wine points - this is a very well made wine, just not my style - a bit too much oak and tropical notes. What Konsgaard aspires to be on its Plato's ideal day, really.
I preferred the Carillon Referts (unsurprisingly).
