Wednesday, September 18, 2013 - Jura, Puligny Montrachet and Champagne; 9/8/2013-9/20/2013: Fascinating multi-layered scent with e.g. (unpeeled) pineapple and some elusive spices which the winemaker described as cardamom and white pepper but I couldn't place that exactly. Slender, refined, taste of hazelnut (entry) - grapefruit juice (mid-palate) - macadamia nut (finish), but more linear and apple-acid-driven than that sounds. 80% Chard, 20% PN, no malo, fermented in 228-liter oak barrels, disgorged November 2012, 8g dosage. Drinkable now, but has its best days ahead, perhaps in 2-5 years. 90-92P(+)
