Community Tasting Notes 3

  June 5, 2019 - 35+ year old vines. Dents de Chien (“Teeth of the Dog”) sits at the top of Montrachet on a tiny .64 hA plot of nearly impenetrable exposed limestone. Much of the area is incapable of being planted.
  
  I think that I may have waited a little too long to open this one. It was beautiful. Very clean, round, mineral driven, lemon inflected wine that had some nice CM fat to it. Obviously very well made but it lacked some energy that I was really hoping for. I brought it to a colleagues house for a dinner meeting. There was some wine open and he made no move to uncork this one. As the evening went on, I eventually just got the cork screw out and did the deed myself! I was the only one who poured a glass. Ah well.

  May 26, 2019 - Nose: Lemons, apricots and stone fruits.
  Palate: lemon, peaches, round but mid palate was thin. Medium acid and medium + finish.
  
  The wine seemed as if it had reached its peak a year ago. Still solid and enjoyable but i wish had opened this earlier as some of the freshness was fading.

  November 4, 2017 - {Purchased on release, first of 6 bottles; have never had this rare bottling}. Fascinating wine. Started quite minerally with lemon zest, hints of marzipan, and fairly racy. (Whiff of mustiness blew off after 2 minutes). First half hour opened along the lines of minerality and stoniness, gained substantial depth and length. At about an hour had also developed some classic fat succulent Chassagne-Montrachet fruit which somehow or other perfectly balanced the stony minerals. Delicious wine, easily 92-94 points with substantial upside development, this could be a 94-95 point wine. On reflection this reminds me of a Meursault Perrieres for mixture of stones and fruit.
