Community Tasting Note

  February 16, 2013 - The palest straw color - one notch up from pure well water in fact. The nose seems to suck the warmth from the room - it is that cold, gunflinty, just barely hinting at fruit. On the palate, taut, austere, salty, saliva-inducing. The finish nearly draws a pucker - the wine is that intensely mineral and youthful. Not for sissies. I had expected this '07 to be quite a bit softer and further along in its evolution - mais non. Not to be touched for another 3 to 5 years if you are keeping it in a reasonably cool cellar. This went very well with a platter of oysters, but for those who are not Chablis initiates, it may be a bit of a tough slog at its current stage of development - which is definitely "adolescent."
