After a non-descript and not very pleasant Sancerre, meant to accompany a
frothy cockle soup, with the main course we opened this bottle which our
neighbour Rutger bought for us as a Christmas gift from our second
neighbour, Svend the Garage Wine Importer.
[c] light gold
[n] very pleasant, nuts, butter, yellow plums, smoke?
[p] continues nutty, buttery, fruity, a bit of floral notes. Acidity is
restarained and pleasant. Length is good.
Overall impression: "Candy for grown-ups" (that was Xina).
Could have passed for a minor commune in the Cote d´Or without comment, or
even an entry-level Meursault from a good producer. I would have said it was
good QPR if I´d known the price, which, it being a gift, I don´t. As it is,
I´ll just say it is very good and obviously begs to be compared to the big
boys in the North.
The restrained acidity makes it good to philosophise about how everything´s
well with the world, the deity of your choice is in his/her heaven, or
whatever.
Cheers!
Nils Gustaf
