Community Tasting Note

  • honest bob wrote:

    November 15, 2018 - From 75cl, perfect cork. Sea-breeze/iodine, lemon, tangerine, (honey) scent; light-bodied entry with immensely concentrated acid (my teeth hurt!) like drinking pure lemon juice with a bit of grapefruit and some sour tangerine. Sour, mouth-tingling, “mineral”, persistent finish. Less weighty and more acidic than any GC I have tasted from Dauvissat, Fevre etc. and utterly different from Bessin's 2008 basic Chablis and 1. Cru wines. Very fine, but hard work right now. I guess this is 91-92P(?) —no pain, no gain. Can anyone tell me if the acid diminishes/comes into balance with more time?
