Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 24, 2024 - -- uncorked and first glass poured about 1 hr. before initial taste on Day 1 --
-- tasted blind alongside another Guiberteau (’19 Breze) over 2 hrs on Day 1; revisited on Days 3 and 4 --

NOSE: Day 1: tangy, with mineral tones; medium+ expressiveness; honeydew melon; Nose seemed to close-up over the course of a couple hours on Day 1. Day 3: bright and tangy.

BODY: tan-yellow color of medium intensity (identical to other wine); {forgot to note weight – seem to recall it about medium}

TASTE: Day 1: fruity and a bit loose – doesn’t have quite the intensity of flavor I was expecting, but the finish is somewhat long and carried by mineral tones. Day 3: largely the same as Day 1: not wooly; plenty of mineral; bit loose, with medium acidity. {bags pulled at end of Day 3}. Day 4: stayed the course on Day 4. Ultimately, this vintage of Guichaux is a pass for me – it lacks the energy and density of my preferred years, and space is currently at a premium. Gut impression score: 90. Drink Now and over the near term.
