Community Tasting Note

Saturday, October 9, 2021 - Pear with some lemon zest fruit. The palate is fresh, crisp and balanced although not overly voluptuous and there also seemed to be distant hints of nutty ox notes which do not serve as a feature here but rather represent off notes. Apart from that fully intact, both aromatically and structurally. Well balanced with a slightly creamy texture. A bit restrained at first, too, but was developing more intensity with increasing temperature in the glass (served too cold at <10C at first) adding mineral and salty layers, tropical fruit components and an herbal angle that reminded me of lemon grass. Really need to stress the pretty impressive versatility here.

Kept half the bottle in the fridge and revisited the following day. Aeration added an alluring sweet touch which resonated in the 20sec finish. Absolutely no signs left of the off-notes. This presented itself with that bit of decadence I’m looking for in a Corton-Charlemagne.

This being clearly better on day 2, I think best to decant at least 1h, maybe better 2h before serving to fast forward to the sweet spot. 94+
