Community Tasting Note

James Kim Likes this wine:

Sunday, November 18, 2018 - Wine Tasting Group - Burgundy - Nov. 18, 2018 (Classic Wine Storage, Dallas, TX): Decanted for 1 h prior to tasting and kept open for ~1.5 h afterwards. Initially, a very strong parmesan rind aroma that dominated the nose. Was concerned that it might be flawed - not corked and not really badly oxidized. From David, learned that this is how aged Fourchaume behaves, which was quite new to me. By the time we drank the wine, it still had parmesan rind aromas but much lower in volume accompanied by mushrooms, apples, herbs with a hint of nuttiness. Palate had a mellow vibe with tart apples, hints of honeysuckle and nuts. Not as intensely mineral as young chablis but showing its age with a smooth, elegant, and mildly mineral texture. Complex and very much enjoyed this.
