Community Tasting Note

• Puteljen! wrote: 89 points

  April 6, 2019 - On the nose sweet and honeyed with hints of botrytis. Lemon, lime, meringue pie, custard, apricots. Some light spice. On the palate concentrated but fairly fresh with good acidity. Spice and fruit intermingle. Some vanilla. Perhaps a bit clumsy or at least not in perfect harmony. In the finish evident oak, almost tannic and a bit bitter. Good, but oak a bit too heavy at present.
  
  Edit: I’ve since heard Thevenet does not use much oak so I guess those tannins are from something else. But I could have sworn it was oak!
