Monday, April 15, 2024 - Book Club (Foretti's): Blind: I was waffling around on this one, between a Riesling and a white Bordeaux. Ultimately landed on Roussanne after a few hints but that doesn’t count.
Well, there’s a lot going on here. The gold color hints that there might be some age. The nose had a little bit of cat piss so I was charging down the Sauvignon Blanc road. But there was a very present oily petroleum note which flipped everything upside down. This saw no new oak but there’s clearly something like that happening at the finish, plus dried moss. Excellent wine.
