Loire valley (and a little Champagne); 9/14/2023-9/22/2023: From open 75cl at Taille aux Loups tasting room, Montlouis-sur-Loire. Light, citrus-blossom scent spoiled by volatile esters; the wine tastes like good ripe Amalfi lemons which have been cut and then left a week in the fridge to acquire musty aromas. This must surely be faulty, but seeing as it was served as a sample at the producer’s tasting room, and nobody else seemed to take exception, I’d rate it 82P

Very young of course and not easy to read the future. Reminds me of the taste of a really young german riesling at this stage. But there is some power and acidity to build something on.
