Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, July 9, 2019 - Hsien Min's Birthday Dinner (Nouri): Lovely stuff. I really could not place it when blind, and no wonder! This was the illusive white Musigny. It had a very attractive noes, with sweet white peach, fresher green apples, then notes of honey, white flowers, and a little drift of lanolin and fresh rosemary, all linked together by a spine of flinty mineral scents. A very floral nose - almost perched somewhere between Burgundy and the Loire valley. The palate too: it had an oily, almost waxy texture, along with a suspiciously Chenin Blanc-like lanolin lilt, and then a lovely spine of mineral pierced through a core of apple fruit, and again that sweeter peachy tone. I was really take by this. Bone dry and impeccably balanced in spite of the ripeness of its fruit, and showing a superb minerality, this was a wine of great finesse. Drinking nicely on the night as well.
