Sunday, March 5, 2017 - Drank alongside the 2005 Dujac Gruenchers.

I love Dujac but they can be so stylized that sometimes you wonder if it is too much Dujac and not enough terroir.

Drinking these two side by side nicely highlighted the difference between the two vineyards. The Gruenchers was very pretty, floral, and elegant on the nose and a bit lighter on the palate. The Malconsorts was not giving as much on the nose but the palate was noticeably deeper and richer. Very impressive considering this was the first year that Dujac acquired the Malconsorts plot.

Both still primary and tannic but by no means closed and quite delicious right now.

These should be amazing with a decade or two or three.
