Community Tasting Notes 3

  September 17, 2019 - This was a nice surprise.
  Diam cork, no sign of seepage. Youthful light golden colour.
  Popped and poured, that was a mistake. The wine shook off the aromatic opening aromas to make way for something more restrained and serious. The palate changed and deepened. The wine became much more profound with air and a few degrees warmer. The low acidity was still sufficient to keep the wine refreshing, however a succulent quality emerged with time, air and warmth. It would be a mistake to taste this too cool. A bit like some vintages of musar blanc.
  
  Very fresh and just starting to gain interest at year 11.
  
  80% grenache blanc, 100 y old vines
  Remainder roussane
  14% abv
  
  Drink or hold, but decanting 1 h is recommended. Serve just cooler than room temp

  January 2, 2010 - Great value wine. From 100yo vines this was a really good drink. Slightly viscous with a beautiful restrained flavour profile. Quite delicious and the type of bottle that gets consumed very quickly.

  October 7, 2009 - Bill notes lots of Grenache Gris character. Very flowery, good cold, not bad overall. Maybe a touch over at $14.
