Community Tasting Note

Sunday, March 22, 2015 - At age 10 this is entering a nice point of softness and integration. The aromatics are a delicate combo of baked apple with a little pear and honey notes combined with hints of baking spice and the wine is soft yet mouth coating with a delicate layering of flavors which go from the fruit to a nice salinity and a fairly long finish. There still good freshness here and while the acidity is not pronounced it is definitively in the background. Maybe a touch drier than a dem-sec as you still get a sweetness on the entry. This shows pretty as it maintains a lightness vis a vie the texture. Quite a fine effort and another good example of the value of Chidain's wines and his delicate touch with this cuvee. Very versatile with food choices as this went well with grilled pork tenderloin, assorted salads as well as artisan cheeses. This would be excellent choice for Fioe Gras or pate. With good provenance this Should be good for a decade or two if not more.
