Community Tasting Note

Sunday, September 27, 2020 - Served in Zalto Universal stems. I meant to give this some air based on previous notes, but got distracted. Beautiful, instantly recognizable weissburgunder nose - like I said in a previous note "as if mature chardonnay and vouvray had a fling with Riesling." The floral component lay at the base topped by what we decided was a pina colada served in a cup of river stones. That settled down into a more typical honeyed white peach profile, but still retaining a few tropical notes. Fully mature, but not at all flabby. The age and structure worked amazingly well with our "Fennel Three Ways Pork Roast" (fronds, seeds, pollen), which has posed some problems for Rieslings in the past. The acid was just barely up to the task of the crispy skin and fat cap, but it made it. What a delight these have been. I'm sad to be down to my last 3.

The wine was fresh and fruity in a way I did not dare hope for for an affordable eighteen-year-old white. Even more impressive if you consider the bad press the vintage received back at the time… Cheers!
