Community Tasting Note

Monday, April 13, 2009 - This bottle was in good condition, but there was a tiny finger of wine that tracked up the side of the cork to the top and barely stained the outer surface of the cork (no capsules on these wines). Perhaps this affected the wine slightly, but there were no signs of premature aging or any cooked qualities to it. Initial mouldy funk blew off quickly to reval an intense and unmistakable sauvignon blanc nose. Sauvignon fruit and minerality with high acidity and some wood influence. I liked this, but there was something slightly cloying about it. I have preferred the Pur Sang in the past and perhaps it is a style difference. Also (especially when one considers price), it is hard for me to say that this is any better than some Lucien Crochets that I have tried. This is a high acid wine and is not showing any signs of fading, but I am not sure how much it can improve from here. Good, intense, not great.
