Was excited to have closed a pretty big deal on Friday and thought I’d open a bottle to celebrate. I opened it at 11am and had to step away for a few hours – came back at 7pm and was reminded that I had an open bottle waiting for me.
I only had a sip of the first pour and it was fairly reductive, predominantly floral notes, green apples and a mild funkyness.
The pours 8 hours later were starkly different. As if layers of complexities just suddenly came out of nowhere. The funkyness was still prevalent but had evolved to include some nutty earthiness to it. There was very little of the buttery oakiness that usually comes with aged chard, this was more of a bright green apple, lemon rinds and peach bomb with notes of white flower and a creamy, viscous vanilla aftertaste that coats the mouth.
I have leftovers in the fridge, will see how it evolves tomorrow.

Never heard of that producer. Is it expensive?

I know just a little bit about this producer. I figured it was around $650 or maybe a bit more.

Yeah, about an order of magnitude more.
Nothing like opening up a 7000USD bottle… 😳
