Medium golden color. Explosive, ripe, but with that signature Jura mineral-coolness. Notes of citrus, yellow fruit, some matchstick too, there is plenty of wet stone and chalk minerality, also some sweet spices, honey and the oak is a touch recognizable at this very early stage, also some white flowers and cammomile. Medium-full bodied, deep and powerful, with a medium-high acidity cutting through the richness. There is also some tannin adding structure and grip. Long finish with plenty of complexity. A superb Jura Chardonnay from this great producer, a little riper than the 2016 I recently had, but nevertheless very beautiful. (93+) I might have been a little stingy on my rating, but the 2016 set the bar really high. On day 2 this is showing even better.

Samples from Bill #5: A touch warmer on the nose here versus the other 2018 Tissot next to it - peach and pear, honey and lemon. Palate doesn't show as much roundness, leaning leaner and more driven with sparkly acidity and a clean finish. Feels like it's a bit in between the style of the other two Tissot Chard in the flight.

Quite a dark golden color for a 5 year old wine. Complex nose of toasted nuts and sherry. The palate is intense, but the alcohol on the finish is noticeable, and there is a touch of mouse which I dont think I've gotten from tissot before. Based on other notes I wonder if this is an off bottle

No change from my previous note. A big hit with my wine group. Those that don't care for Chardonnay were blown away by this.

Outstanding. Tasting notes below me do it better justice. In my opinion, very good QPR.
