Community Tasting Note

Mrbuzz Likes this wine:

Thursday, September 10, 2020 - These are now starting to get VERY interesting! Too bad this is my last bottle of a case bought in 2009...well...it was suppose to be a case of BB for $17 per, and received the Aligote by mistake. Decided to keep it, and ending up getting two more cases of the BB cuz that sucker was GOOOD...and wasn't really thrilled with the Aligote at the time...an acid freak, and just an ok drink. Last bottle had was 7 years ago(are you friggin serious??) and saw some leakage starting on this bottle so decided to kill it. WOW...this has really blossomed into a fun wine! Fresh as a daisy with tart lemon citrus and pineapple acidity...chalky saline minerality, slight petrol...very clean and fresh snappy orchard fruit. What gets me is, as I've noted before, this wine totally tastes like a still Champagne! Has that bright high acid fruit...then a lees brioche-ness to it...ginger spice, caramel apple stick, chalky limestone. There's a slight exotic nuance to it of lychee and almond liqueur which reminds me of the 13 Ultramarine BdB. Finishes creamy smooth and refreshing with some white flower florals and citrus pucker. LOVE this! Who knew...wish I had more.
