Community Tasting Note

atbarbar Likes this wine:

Friday, January 29, 2021 - Straw yellow with green reflex. Spectacular, mesmerizing nose. A bouquet that circles around from tropical notes (banana, mango, pineapple) and citrus, floral herbal notes (straw) and olives and back. After opening up, marine parfum. Overall the nose delivers a heady complex sweetness. A wine you do not want to start drinking for fear that the palate will not stand up to the nose. On the palate a spectrum of flavors that mirror the nose. Salty lemon confit, and so much salinity. Strong salty finish. Leitmotiv of 2018, just enough acidity to barely support this otherwise great wine. A dash of bitterness from the wood that will disappear very soon. I would consume in the next 3 to 4 years. Not enough acidity for the long haul. Such a pity. This said, totally worth the price differential with respect to Droin. If you ask me, buy one 2018 Sechet versus two 2018 Montee the Tonnerre (see my tasting note on Droin's) I have no doubts.
