Community Tasting Notes 58

  May 8, 2023 - This bottle did not meet my expectations of a Burgundy Grand Cru. I was surprised to see one “Terrific” review with only 92 points, so I’m giving 91 and I’m calling it “not bad but not great”.
  
  The disappointment is mostly my fault: I drank this too late past maturity. There is still plenty of acidity and length but the wine is less full and its wealth of mineral notes has narrowed down. Plush but quiet, like a sleepy, reclusive chinchilla.
  
  Nicely developed grapefruit notes on the nose, progressing onto the palate with the help of healthy acidity and some surviving onctuosity for smoothness. Behind a hint of bitterness hides a layer of weaker mineral notes, which remain for a relatively long finish. This is no longer a rich, wide, complex or great specimen, but is just the perfect wine for a serious conversation about cellar management ;)

  April 11, 2021 - Popped and initially had some funk that blew off in just a couple of minutes. Absolute epitome of chablis, this tasted like crushed oyster shell with a great salinity to it. Paired amazingly with shrimp linguini & soft shell crab. After about an hour it started to fade a bit. Drink now as it’s showing some weariness.

  December 3, 2020 - Superb! Citrus, algae, flower and a touch of honey and marzipan emerging. Superbly balanced in the mouth with richness lifted by acidic tension

  April 27, 2019 - Light golden colour. Nose with grilled lemon, minerals and a hint of butterscotch. Medium to full bodied, good acidity and great balance. A touch of bitterness. The taste confirmes the impressions in the nose. Very good but not great.
