  Not much nose. Thin in the front palate, but good glycerine mouth feel. Still has strong acid with grapefruit flavors. Pleasant finish of those acid notes. Probably a bit over the hill.

  Very nice, and a great value. A balance of acidity and tartness, with a taste of green apples.

  2007 Bourgogne Aligote Blind Tasting: Joe and Justin both picked this wine as their favorites of the tasting, and Scott and I liked it too. Justin said that it was lactic at first, but that the fruit and acid balance was great, and he found himself thinking that he really wanted to drink it. Joe said that this wine rocked in the context of the tasting. It was well detailed with flowers and he appreciated the nature of the acidity - he said that most of the wines in the tasting showed acidity at the edges, but in this wine the acidity formed the core of the wine. I liked it too - my notes say apples, soft and pure, balanced, stones on the finish. The thing is, this wine was, to be honest and fair, kind of disgusting a half hour later over dinner. It completely fell off the table and became something that we were mystified about. How could it have been so good in a blind tasting and then been so bad while eating?
