  Relatively oaky, which may turn some off. For me, the oak is starting to integrate, though this still comes off as a bit young. Tropical fruit, caramel and oak on the nose. On the palate, good depth of fruit but again gives an impression of an adolescent...not quite ready. Still showing a good amount of acidity and some tannins in the background. I would ideally recommend waiting a couple of years on this one, but it is appealing enough now that my remaining bottles are in jeopardy.

  I find as I get older my blind tasting abilities are increasingly affected by my state of mind. Before I get labeled "Captain Obvious," I will tell you that in my long blind-tasting career I do not remember that being tired, cranky, etc. influenced my perceptions or shaped what I literally tasted. Now it seems they do, and if I'm not "on my game" I can flounder helplessly like a newbie, unable to trust impressions that I would otherwise have considered rock-solid and impervious to external stimuli other than what's in the glass before me. Such was the case with this last night, which initially threw off such a strong petrol aroma I thought it was a riesling, except it had too much body and a bone dry finish. "Trocken riesling?" I tendered meekly. Yikes! It was actually a very good Chassagne, with white stone fruit notes and minerality I guess that I first read as petrol. There was a noticeable impression of wood and it finished just a tad abruptly to nudge it up a notch. I don't mind being human but this was embarrassing.

  Woodier, less deep, and less interesting that the Embrazees from same producer. Decent acidity, good white fruit, some vanillin oak, good but not intriguing like its brother. B
