Community Tasting Note

Friday, June 30, 2017 - Tough wine to rate at this point, as it is a very good wine which is hiding behind a wall of reduction, that really took a long time to blow off, so the nose and a bit of the palate had on overriding air of cooked onion. Once you got past that, you have a beautiful acidic, appropriately creamy and mineral wine. It drinks a bit like a Puligny-lite and I think it shows both the strength of the producer and the underrated nature of St.-Aubin, when it is in the right hands. I was a little disappointed by the use of giant California sized bottles, which seems to be a growing trend in Burgundy.

As a very broad generalization, I think the 2015 whites are going to be, riper, much earlier drinkers than the '14's and are a bit more "new world" in style. I would stress the "bit" part, because nobody is ever going to confuse the '15's for, say, Rombauer.
