Community Tasting Note

Monday, August 3, 2020 - This wine had a deep gold/yellow center and clear rims. The medium intensity nose put forth light cider, citrus, almond paste, white stone, and some oxidation.

In the mouth, this wine had great richness, great acidity, and great length. However, as suggested in the nose, this wine was showing some oxidative notes that detracted from the aforementioned stunning positives.

As may be apparent, I love old white Burgs but this wine being past it’s best was a shocker. A recent bottle of the 86 was in much better shape. I would be looking to drink this ASAP unless my next bottle showed dramatically better longevity.
