Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 3, 2022 - Tasted double blind. Oh boy, this could have been so great if it wouldn‘t be for the strange premox (?) nose. Less detectable on the palate, this is impressively structured and with lots of substance and beautiful minerality core. If it wouldn‘t be for the faulty notes, this could be a 95+ wine. We had this next to the 2014, which was not clean either. Overall disappointing performance from Fevre.

TN: Very intense, over the hill nose. Not outright oxidative but lots of strange hay aromas mixed with oxidation notes. On the palate much better and cleaner. This has massive substance, so dense and deep with lots of fine lemon, citrus, baked apple, lots of crushed rocks, limrestone and a wonderful, long, intense, citrus and minerality-driven finish. High acidity, very round and with good sharpness.

Decanting: Not decanted, followed over three hours with little change. I don‘t think more air would have changed things. I don‘t think this usually needs a long decant.
