Community Tasting Note

  March 25, 2019 - Kind of surprising on the first sip given how structured other wines from the vintage have been, as this features a very polished texture, smoothed of most of the tannin, and fresh red fruits that come across more gently concentrated than most from the vintage, to go with its clear neon-bright ruby color. The tannin does come out of hiding with time, so the structure isn't absent, just glossed over for now. But one thing that doesn't come out even the next day is much personality beyond the fruit. Other Malartics have had the classic Graves earth-and-smoke front and center even on release, while this one is still hiding whatever it's got beyond the primary.
