Tonight's opening act. Hitting its stride at the proper temp. Finding some unanticipated complexity. Delicious. — 11 years ago
Wine coming out of the city of Vienna proper always blows my mind. Smoky, great texture, 9 variety blend. Crazy stuff. — 11 years ago
Just out of the bottle this was a bit 'big'. It screamed exotic fruits; a bit too much to my taste. The palate was not that heavy, so it felt slightly out of balance. I missed (hoped for) minerality/citrus (tension?) too. Left half the bottle for the next day. The 'bigness' was gone and on the palate it gained weight (in a nice acidic way). Will def. benefit from proper decanting or longer aging. Made by Lalou Bize-Leroy 'in the vineyard'. They don't have a winemaker on the payroll. Great quality Bourgogne Blanc, made out of declassified Meursault, Puligny and Savigny fruit. But at this pricelevel there is serious competition around the corner... — 11 years ago
