Community Tasting Note

Sunday, December 12, 2010 - The Other Great French Blancs: Champagne and Sauternes (Wink Restaurant, Austin, Texas): Light straw color, baking spices and yeasty toast on the nose but strong acidity overpowers the flavors on the palate. Lemon sour at first, with a sharp, chalky texture, this had notes of lemon and ripe green apple, some pepper, was a little green and vegetal. Refreshing and crispy clean, but short, its effervescence faded quickly; “not exciting,” “uneventful,” “monolithic.” Maybe needs time, and is not the wine for celebrating in this new year. Least favorite in a nv brut flight.
