  3/26/2018 - Heynetty Likes this wine: 89 Points

  Wine Dojo - Week 4 - No Sugar, Just Spice!!! (Annette's Place): Tasted Blind
  
  A: Pale lemon
  N: SMOKE, butter?, is that vanilla? maybe not. Perhaps some brioche, jasmine, tart apple, lime, asparagus, white pepper and earth. Youthful and medium (+) intensity
  P: Aromas confirmed. Dry, medium (+) body, medium alcohol, medium (+) acid, medium intensity and medium finish.
  C: BLIC? Ticks everywhere. i wouldn't say this was typical however. I think its an outstanding quality wine and the lees aging has given it some great body. The yeasty brioche i think is lees aging and MLF. Its wonderful and i didn't guess what the heck this was at all in terms of grapes. I thought it was a chardonnay from Northern Burgundy. Thats common for older grüner apparently but not for something this young. ATYPICAl but absolutely delicious.
