Community Tasting Note

Thursday, January 10, 2019 - Small friends gathering - 90 La Tache, 12 Coche CC, 37 Mouton in mag and etc. (Officina - Washington D.C.): Comes in a fancy heavy dark bottle with wax capsule. Really ripe nose that reminds me of a special cuvee Chapoutier Hermitage blanc. Expressive nose displaying tropical fruit, passion fruit, yellow peach, pineapple, strong tobacco and dry coconut shell. Not showing much mineral. Excellent concentration, very ripe tropical yellow fruit, dense and rich, bright acidity that is not fully integrated and sticks out, and a medium to long rich ripe yellow fruit driven finish. My educated guess is that it was trying to emulate Raveneau like ripe and generous fruit but failed. Not a good Chablis but reasonably enjoyable rich white wine.
