Community Tasting Note

Seth Rosenberg Likes this wine:

Friday, July 10, 2020 - No worries about premox or TCA here - or even just old age. I would have no clue that this was 20 year old Chablis. After more than an hour and this is still opening - I think it will be better tomorrow. Classic Chablis profile here - lemon, some spice, dusty minerals, dusty pollen and a bit of white florals. Lots of lemon and tart on the palate, also salty and a bit nutty. The residual of the oak is here and well integrated now - gives a bit of brown and depth and a touch of round into the finish. The finish starts off w the brown and lemon and the brown fades out so that you end up with the lemon and salty minerals. So this isn't flawed at all - and it is very good, but it, at this point, doesn't have the complexity or depth of the Les Clos or Preuses. Maybe it will open more tomorrow. Nose - 5/6, Palate - 5/6, Finish - 4.5-5, Je ne Sais Quoi - 1/2 = 15.5-16/20.

This improved on day 2 but I lost the note I took :(. from memory - now this has developed a beautiful green-menthol-herbal thing that really gives the nose a depth when added to the lemon-minerals-golden palette. More complete and balanced now. wonderful. 16.5-17/20.
