Community Tasting Notes 6

  February 11, 2024 - Beautiful nose with apricots, orange blossom, honey, citrus zest, hay, and minerals. The acidity is quite high with more lemon and orange notes, some crushed rocks, and apple notes on the palate. It probably isn't completely dry, but any residual sugar that may be there is perfectly balanced by the fruit and acidity. Long finish. Wow, this was excellent! Deep and complex and still surprisingly youthful given its age.

  April 29, 2023 - KYD #2.3 (Møntnergade): What a surprise and very interesting wine!
  Packed with lemon/lime and orange bitterness but also a touch of quince. There is certainly a lot of acidity in the overall backbone and despite showing some sherry oxidation, there is still plenty of life left.
  So much fun to taste a wine at this level that I never knew anything about and even existed! An amazing treat!

  February 1, 2019 - I love this wine so much. This is super classy dry version of version this Domaine that, depending on the vintage, can produce sweeter wines. The acidity of this 1974 is mouthwatering. I am not sure it will gain anything from being cellared for more time, but there is no hurry to uncork the one you have in stock.

Delicious with food-which I would say is the best way to drink this wine. Orange peel, a bit of the sea, pears, and acid, acid acid. Shocking to taste something rounding its 43rd birthday, and still be so together and complete. I would say if you can find this, give it a try, and I highly doubt you will be disappointed in the experience.

  December 22, 2016 - Wow! While overall notes of oranges standout on the nose (think a grand marnier cent centenaire minus the alcohol crossed with a Kracher scheurebe minus any residual sugar), the palate is a near perfect amalgam of nuances and acid that keeps you wanting to taste the wine just a bit more.
  
  Very food friendly. Had never heard of this till I ordered it off a restaurant wine list - count me as a fan now.
