Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 21, 2012 - Mini Comte de Vogue Dinner (Yusho, Chicago IL): Library release from the Domaine just shipped in about 5 weeks ago. Opened and drank over about 90 minutes. Served alongside the 2009 vintage. Upon opening, the nose was fairly tight with a great deal of mineral, faint floral and a bit of citrus. Palate showed some firmer yellow fruit and a beeswax character with a mineral backbone. Much tigher overall than the 2009. After an hour or so in the glass, the nose began to give more ripe fruit and floral notes, but still kept a lot in reserve. The fruit on the palate had a certain waxiness that made us all think of the Northern Rhone. Moderate acidity and weight on the palate. Overall a very youthful bottle, but as it opens, it does start to show some of its age.
