  90+ Wine Club, Chablis blind tasting (Monk restaurant): Brought to drink at Oinoscent during inventory day. Bottle opened and tasted about 1 hour later, no decant
  -/-
  The wine shows bright and clear character, ripe to overripe mango, tropical fruit, nectarine, apricot notes, a few petrol notes next to mastic (?) ones. There are also some nutty/hazelnut notes.
  In the palate the wine follows the same flavor profile, ripe fruit, high acidity keeping the balance, lime/citrus jam, crunchy, quince tart texture, medium body, some warmth, long finish. Still tight and exotic. With time the wine grows even more. Beautiful

  this was the most fruit driven ostertag of the evening ostertag single vineyard rieslings, very direct & likeable, if not a llttle one dimensional but ageing remarkably well, still ridiculously fresh. 10 years' cellaring would not be out of order.

  Oeil : doré intense à reflets bronze, viscosité moyenne en parois
  Nez : projection de forte intensité, caramel anglais, rancio, citron confit, oxydation...
  Bouche : sec, encore une belle acidité, persistance moyenne, malheureusement sur des notes oxydatives assez avancées
  Conclusion : mauvaise bouteille ou évolution prématurée? La prochaine (et dernière) nous le dira, et nous ne tarderons pas. Tout de même bon malgré son état. Plutôt décevant par ailleurs.

  Typical nose of gasoline and lime. Mouth well structured mostly with pomelo peal bitterness. Minerality and sufficient acidity (a tartric flavour indeed). Simple core of citrus. I'm sure the wine starts his way down. Still very good.

  I expected much more from this bottle. Not complex at all. Taste develops a little bit over 3 hours but nothing very special. I normally like wines from Ostertag and the bottle drank 2 years ago was good and enjoyable. Just a bad bottle? Unfortunately this was my last one. Would have loved to compare it with a second bottle.
