Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 - It's baaaack! The famous 07 Leroy Aligote...has enough reduction/sulfur to embalm a human being! Sometimes the reduction funk is akin to old school Coche match strike...other times, someone puked in a trash can! I've had this more than a half a dozen times...thanks to PC blowing these out back in the day for $19.99! I've always "appreciated" the funk in this...and to be honest, liked most of the bottles I've opened. Splashed decanted this 20 times...NEEDS serious air...ahhhh...there it is...that funky nose! No puke...more reduction match strike, burnt popcorn, petrol kind of funk. The fruit is GORGEOUS...still bright and crystalline with a little tart sharpness...puckering lemon, grapefruit citrus...has a creamy texture...vanilla butter...banana skin wax...but really some serious sharpness poking through with that citric acid. With some coaxing you do get a nice balanced blend at times...super savory crushed rock minerality...powdery flint...iodine...some pretty white flower florals...maybe some dried honey...but really no signs of age...hahaha cuz it's embalmed! You really have to be in the mood, and ready, for this wine...and definitely don't drink it in the company of other white Burgs, as it will stand out like a hooker at church! I like the wine...always have...will probably save my last bottle till the year 2057 just to see if Lalou had the 50yr make as her target here.
