Community Tasting Note

Monday, September 2, 2013 - Vacation Wines (Loire, Rhône, Jura) (Chez M.): Medium yellow. The nose is terrible. There are typical notes of candied ginger, ripe apricot, honey and quince. But there's an overriding pungent smell of chicken broth, asparagus water and cheese rind that makes the nose seriously hard to bear. Don't know what the problem is, but there is something wrong with the nose. On the palate, the wine is truly fantastic with a beautiful interplay of fruity sweetness and acidity, exotic notes (passion fruit) and great minerality. Really long finish.
