Community Tasting Note

• misterstarre Likes this wine: 97 points

  February 6, 2015 - As the wine warmed out of its chilly pouring temperature, hints of weak coffee, caramel, honey, and pollen wafted out of the glass, each inserting a complex element over the primary scent of what I must describe as eucalyptus tea. That eucalyptus-tea note carried through as the first taste as my sip spread across my mouth and up through my sinuses. Orange marmalade and popsicle sticks resonated through the mid-palate, which faded to more subtle honey and toasted nut flavors. On the finish, orange blossom lingered along with something herbal, like sage. So complex and so pleasant. Easy to enjoy, yet difficult to understand. My final impression was my sense of time and the history of a bottle that must have been just bottled when Germany invaded France. A remarkable wine and a remarkable experience.
