Community Tasting Notes 5

  June 21, 2023 - Decanted and consumed over two hours. Light aromas of popcorn at first. After two hours, aromas shut down. Flavors improved over the first hour. Moderate flavors of citrus, pear, and a hint of alcohol. Moderate complexity/long finish. Young and a bit harsh. Not quite integrated. Limited enjoyment now and likely better in 5-10 years.

  February 19, 2023 - Bitter lemon and some stone, lean and closed, with a bit of a bite. Decent now but should improve with a bit more time.

  January 2, 2022 - Decanted and consumed over two hours… and it took about 90 minutes before it started to come together, albeit still a bit harsh due to youth. Moderate aromas of reduction. Moderate flavors of lemon based citrus, chalk, a touch of oak, smooth, and a decent amount of disjointed energy. Moderate complexity/finish. Mid-longer term upside. 90-93.

  September 29, 2021 - Much better than previous. Beautiful example of a not too rich, more “mineral” and lemony Meursault. A joy.

  May 7, 2021 - Tricky. Fresh and lively. lemon and pear aromas. But...I have had other vintages of this wine and they have been brilliant. This bottle at the moment was very closed. Cant really score. Casses tetes is a more restrained lieu dit ...people dont like the word these days but quite a "mineral" wine. Will wait a while before trying another.
