Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 28, 2009 - Grower's Champagne, Grand Cru Burg and Grosses Gewach Riesling (Artisan Cellars, Palais Renaisance / Jade Palace, Forum Galleria): One of the handful of the very best white wines I have had this year. This was just awesome. Beautiful nose had flowers, chamomile, musk, cherries and cream with lots more complexity just waiting to unfurl as it ages. This was every bit as expressive and classy as its sweeter cousins. If the nose was good, the palate was just mind-blowing. Incredible, incredible depth and lots of richness throughout - it attacked with a wash of flowers, mandarin orange, cherries, some bandung notes, rose petals, cream, some snappily fresh white fruit. Profound and haunting, yet at the same time beautifully balanced and great with food. Finish was not astoundingly long, yet had plenty of length and tons of grip, with a rush of lovely minerality bringing the wine to a seamlessly elegant end. Wow.
