Community Tasting Notes 5

  May 4, 2018 - The juice pours a bourbon golden color with impressively long legs. Initially tightly wound, the wine starts to reveal its impressive bouquet with air and warmth. Displaying a delicate balance between roasted pineapples, citrus oils, beurre noisette, roasted nuts, honeysuckle, wet stones, toasty oak, anise and baking spice, the nose wrestles with power and concentration and smells, dare I say, very Californian. For a Burgundy, I would say the nose screams of Meursault. On the palate, the structure is generous yet chewy given the judicious oak. Adequate balance and cut are provided by the laser-like acidity and razor-sharp minerals. Flavors reflect the nose and yield sugarcane water, lemon zest, anise, white flowers, burnt butter, toasty oak and caramel. Finish is long and complex as the wine ends with a smoky, mineral-laden kick. Decent performance given the tricky vintage. Premier cru quality for sure.

  June 23, 2012 - Lunch at The Fat Duck (The Fat Duck, Bray): Nose was a bit muted with hints of caramel, butter, summer blossoms and metallic minerals. More expressive on the palate with a stony mineral spine giving the wine structure.

  October 30, 2009 - very fine - great oak vanilla and caramel. Hints of celery salt and mineral. Excellent savory quality. More bottle age character apparent than a year ago. Excellent length and concentration. Premier cru quality at an (expensive) bourgogne blanc price.

  October 16, 2009 - Distributor Tastings (CV): Vintus (CV): (tasted after the two off-dry Deiss wines). Light straw in the glass. Nose of toasty wood, not bad. In the mouth, burnt and bitter. Very bitter, wood-infused water. 60-70?
