Community Tasting Note

ChDonath Likes this wine:

Saturday, September 24, 2022 - 2002/2006 version with 3g/L, therefore decent bottle age.

Opens up quite tempting with sweet exotic fruit, montrachet/meursault vibes here, pineapple and caramel.

Taste though... very austere, heavy oak bitterness, needs to integrate definitely.

Quite pleasant front and mid until you reach the oak bitter brickwall.

Before the oak kicks in its kind of fresh without any fruit sweetness though.

Only quite some time the aftertaste reveals a bit of fruit on the tongue.

Some cacoa notes...

With time integration gets a bit better.

Works decently with well spiced food though.
Then acidity and oak gives good crunch and balance

A bit fermented apple notes

With more time oak balances out and its tasty and the dosage works (unfortunately, this happens at the end of the bottle).

Definitely not an aperitif. Probably best to open 1-2 days before planned consumption.
