Community Tasting Notes 7

  June 17, 2018 - By June 2018 the 2011 Talbott Chardonnay has developed the golden color reminiscent of a mature white Burgundy, with secondary flavor characteristics of orange and apricot. It is well balanced between fruit and acid, with almost no rough edges. It has aged surprisingly well. This is the second bottle I opened this year, the first was in a tasting where it was well liked.

  June 21, 2017 - On this first official day of summer in MN I thought it fitting to open my last bottle of this (80 degrees, low humidity and a nice breeze...perfect). Not much has changed with 2 years aging. Nose: Still the ripe, Meyer lemons and minerally aromas. Palate: Still solid acid levels with the semi-ripe, deep lemon flavors, lemon curd, and good underlying minerality. Could have gone at least another year but why wait? Delicious now and a good time to open this last one. Still 92 points.

  December 28, 2015 - This was more basic than I expected, though very good over all 3 days. It was most complex on day , with more toasty and deep fruit flavors apparent.

  July 26, 2015 - Very similar to last notes on 7/5/14 but the acids are more integrated and the minerality shows more. Now 92 points. Just a really solid example of what California Chard can be.
