Community Tasting Notes 8

  November 12, 2020 - Very strange, but this bottle was so acidic as to be quite undrinkable. I had one glass and poured it away. Other notes suggest something entirely different.

  May 9, 2020 - Same as last bottle. Gold tinged yellow. Stone, lemon and beeswax on the nose. Ripe apples and salt in the mouth. Again opened more on day 2.

  April 17, 2020 - Delicious. Much as s&c wrote and my prior notes, but this bottle just seemed to kick it up a notch in both nose and palate. Wonderful lift in nose, and persistence to palate, though a tad light on acid and weight, made up for it with a delightful finesse in the floral/citrus/chalk synthesis. Freshness abounds, somewhat surprisingly given prior bottle.

  April 13, 2020 - Gold tinged yellow. Stony beeswax and citrus on the nose. Salty ripe white orchard fruit in the mouth. Really opened on day 2. I really liked this. Did not seem entirely typical of Montee de Tonnerre in that it did not have the high wire acidty I expect from the vineyard.

  August 29, 2019 - Mineral, chalk, and citrus, lemon, hint of lime, light white floral notes. A bit of age showing, perhaps. Moderate body and length, nice, though not an exceptional example of Tonnerre.
