2020 Château de Fosse-Seche Panthalassa Blanc

Vin de France Chenin Blanc more

4/20/2024 - kostaslonis wrote: NR

Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): Intoxicating perfume, utterly decadent, overripe stone and citrus fruit, some floral notes, fresh marmelade, grape-y, apricot and peach notes, botrytis notes
Palate following the nose pattern, full body, high acidity, mineral, highly bitter with bergamot/bitter orange peel concentrate, weirdly enough - and sadly I might add - cuts rather short.
Impressive in the nose, the palate is not up to par, very aggressive price for what it is. Unless it needs time

Random wines tasted during service (Oinoscent): 90% Vermentino 10% other varieties.
Straightforward white wine profile, citrus notes, some herbal notes, lemon leaves, green fruit/grapefruit peel.
Palate plain, bitter notes, lemon peel, med body, boring

Brought to drink at Oinoscent during service. Decanted and tasted after 1hr
The wine shows ripe red fruit in the nose, spice, juicy, welcoming, nice developed profile.
Palate copies the nose profile, ripe to overripe red and black fruit, a touch of warmth, raspberry and overripe sour cherry, some herbal bitter notes in the back, med body, elegant, long finish.
