Community Tasting Note

HowardNZ Likes this wine:

Friday, January 8, 2016 - Dinner with Jeffrey: Served blind. An attractive bouquet with a base of steel and wet river gravel but with some more developed elements people (variously) expressed as toffee apple, golden syrup, nougat and blanched hazelnuts. In the mouth, the first impression was of the evolution obvious here, and the second was of the ripping acidity. The acids initially made me think of Chablis before settling on 1996 1er Côte de Beaune. This bottle was towards the end of its peak drinking with maderised fruit and toffee elements becoming prominent. However, it paired well with my Parfait de Foie de Canard. Good but drink soon.
