Community Tasting Note

Mrbuzz Likes this wine:

Thursday, October 3, 2019 - The oldest Cotat I've had...and it is brilliant! THAT nose! Floral spring flowers, lime blossom, lemongrass, mint tea, cool sea breeze, crushed rocks. So crystalline and youthful looking...looks like a current release. In the mouth...it's all about the geology man! Why I love these wines SO much...that killer saline crushed limestone/flint/rock/chalk...you can taste every struggle these old vines have gone through. There is fruit here too...very bright and energized citrus fruit...zippy and tangy lemon lime, quince, gooseberry...also some faint tropical mango and pineapple in there as well. Really nice waxiness feel which kind of swaddles the intense citrus and minerals together making for perfect integration. Finishes long, tart, and spicy...leaving you in mineral Heaven! I'm just blown away by these wines every time I have one...Beaujeu being my fav. in the Cotat stable.
