Community Tasting Note

• glou.sf Likes this wine: 92 points

  June 1, 2020 - Tasted blind. White flowers, some orchard fruit, almonds, and citrus on the nose. Medium acidity and slightly viscous on the palate with flavors of meyer lemon and apples. There is a richness on the palate, but I didn't find it to be sweet. Nice, long finish.
  
  Generally, this wine was a bit weird and changed a bunch in the glass... At first it reminded me of a Terlan Vorberg Pinot Bianco and others also didn't get much Chardonnay character. With lots of air, this changed, but I wouldn't have thought Chablis. The warm vintage is clearly showing, but there is very good quality underneath. I wonder how this will taste in 5+ years. 92+

At least that's been my experience with vintages like 2005, 2006, and 2009. So, if you have more, keep the faith!

While it wasn't showing the way I would've expected, the quality is clearly there and like you said, let's hope it sheds some of the fat with time. I'm not giving up :)
