Community Tasting Note

  April 13, 2016 - Reached into my vertical case of this wine (07-12) and grabbed the 07 thinking it would be ready for business. Double decanted back into the bottle and enjoyed a glass over the evening in a riedel sommelier montrachet glass.
  
  Quite a young, light gold colour. Nose was a bit subdued. The palate was very tight, even hard. All kinds of granite and sour lemons. Very tough at this stage and a real surprise that it was showing so young. Indeed, the first white burg of this age I can recall in a long time that was absolutely not ready to play. No question that it will get there with time. It will be interesting to see what kind of development there is tonight after 24 hours of air.
  
  2nd night. Only marginally more friendly. Absolutely at the linear, austere end and very unwilling to come out and play. Imagine a grivot richebourg or old school faiveley at about the same age to get an impression of how closed this was! Unclear whether it's the bottle or the wine as I've not had it before in this vintage. First time I can recall being disappointed with a PYCM.
