Community Tasting Note

• kosdogger Likes this wine: 94 points

  September 12, 2020 - Interesting wine that left all perplexed after an hour of opening/drinking. All around, really well made wine. More finesse than power in a good way. The surprise was the lack of tannins for a relatively young wine. This left us unsure which direction this wine was heading. Worth opening one if you have it. Based on memory, the River Droite is still my favorite Blankiet (but still need to open Mythicus, which is 100% Cab).
