Community Tasting Notes 5

  December 12, 2022 - Chablis Tasting. Weirdness on the nose, almost musty/mushroomy? Bruised apple/banana? Palate is all bright and lemon curd though. The nose was initially off-putting but it really came into its own after 30-60 minutes of being open and warming up a bit.

  October 10, 2021 - Fragrance of passion fruits, Manuka honey, honeysuckle florals and mild spices. Sizzling acidity on the entry, followed by a burst of juicy citrus and tropical fruits, honeyed and mineralic. Good volume and length here with a trailing zesty finish. Very nice base Chablis.

  April 1, 2021 - Found a 2016 at a local wine shop and was very excited to try this. I've heard great things about Domaine Pattes Loup / Thomas Pico from those whose opinion I trust, and this did not disappoint. I brought this to a sushi restaurant and upon popping, pouring, the first sip was very impactful; particularly how it really hit your saliva glands and induced quite a bit of salivation from its acidity (and in a very good way). The chef who tasted some much later in the meal equated it to really good sushi vinegar which I thought was a fun comparison. Given that the bottle is entering its 5th year of aging, some secondary and tertiary characteristics already started blooming. The overall mouthfeel, aroma, balance, and surprising ease / drinkability was astounding. The nose had nuanced lemon, and there were profiles of other people's premier cru Chablis in it, including notes of starfruit, maybe a bit of grapefruit, pineapple, ripe pear in a very interesting way. A delightful match with a majority of the sushi I had, which from a pairing perspective easily surpassed the ultra smooth Dauvissat Forest 2015.

  August 29, 2020 - Crystalline purity, with a bit of extra weight from the vintage. It still has a bright acid core to frame the lemon and stone flavors, with a touch of nut skin bitterness on the finish. It’s not so much a laser, but more a focused beam that covers the entire palate. Wholly satisfying.

  April 26, 2019 - The wine is clear, pale lemongreene with watery rim, developing
  
  Nose is clean, medium intense aromas of lime, greene, chalk, limestone, dragonfruit, hint of honey, developing
  
  Palate is dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium+ body and flavour intensity and dry-extract, aromas of greene apples, lime, oysters, ripe greene gooseberry, limestone, long finish
  
  The wine is very well balanced, long fruit driven finish, medium intense but the most impressive is the concentration which is very solid especially for a Chablis, medium+ complex. Very good quality 90p with a potential for higher score in the future.
