  • Very perfumed, even after 5 hours of bottle decanting: sweet spices, dried red cherries, dried craneberry; good concentration on mid-palate but lack of finish

  • Served blind. Clearly came across destemmed - no greenness, very soft, seemed about 10 years older than 04 but in a good, resolved way. The darker fruit flavors with a light touch balance well to make a great glass of wine. One of the few great 04s I’ve had.

  • PNP into Zalto Burgundy glass ("No" day): Pale bricking ruby with slightly watery rim.

    Very smoky in first pour that quickly gives way to rich wild red berries like hawthorn and strawberries that welcomes the taster - Even some hints of egg white-like reduction when the wine first touches the glass. Florals and herbs, a little leafy too. Some very fine buttery/toasty notes. Full of finesse. Sublime sense of purity and authenticity. Very aromatic indeed.

    Highly acidic, highly mineral that is almost salty - very refreshing and as previous tasters agree - a convincing blend of 'aged' and 'new' flavours. Tannins almost non-existent. The mid palate concentration is just perfect to deliver the flavours to a a long finish, carried by an almost 'vibrating' sense of lovely salinity. The only hint of the vintage being the ever so slightly bittersweet note towards the finish.

    My first encounter of this producer and what a nice wine from this vintage! Hard to put it anything under 94 points.

    2 hours upon opening: Gaining concentration (without any weight gain) and now emitting additional animale notes and more fine spices on finish. So mellow and integrated but also detailed and with tension. 94-95 points.

  • Rieslingfan's note pretty much nails this. A very good, if unusual showing. It doesn't that sheer lightness of touch and gentle fruit I usually expect from Truchot, nor does it have that green herbal edge of the '04 vintage - the fruit's surprisingly rich and intense here, lifted by sharp acids beneath but with no real green aspects. Unusual, but very enjoyable.
