Old Jacky Truchot vineyard!! — 12 years ago
2005 vintage. It's from Corsica. This is my last of three bottles bought from Garagiste back when they regularly offered fascinating stuff like this, before they jumped the shark. It was the first and last time they ever offered this wine despite my repeatedly prodding them to do so again after I opened my first two early on. I was floored then - it was like drinking a Truchot, almost impossibly light and gossamer. I've been holding on to this last bottle for years, afraid to open it as I didn't want to ruin that perfect memory. Shouldn't have worried, this is still great. And in fact it's aging very much like a Burgundy, although tasting more mature than a Burgundy of a similar age would be, and it's oddly put on a substantial amount of weight: the color's deeper and the material denser than before. It starts out with slightly spiky acidity that needs a bit of time to sort itself out. Then it has a fresh green aroma, full of Alpine herbs. Then it turns deeper, more savory and earthy, with mushroom and saddle leather, very much like a Burgundy knocking on the door of a tertiary period. It has a very fresh acidic spine with a juiciness that brings to mind orange or tangerine, not ordinarily the type of acidity that you see in a red wine. That adds a youthful perspective to a profile that otherwise feels fairly developed. But the most remarkable thing about it is the texture and sleek, slender proportions, not much changed since those bottles years ago that felt like drinking Jacky Truchot. Won't somebody consider importing this wine again? — 10 years ago
I had a heck of a time extracting the cork. Thank you Ah So. Drinking well with lots of acidity, juicy cranberries and minerals. Very nice. — 10 years ago
