And that’s dry…
The nose is citrus, chalk, nascent honey and petrol notes and the impression of a kaleidoscope of fruit in reserve. On the palate there is a weight of dry extract with the fruit a mere promise at this stage, and then the acid and the ‘big dry’ kicks in extending the finish. This is still on the austere side now but, for my tastes, will be a superb vintage for CFE.
Interestingly the citrus on the nose presents not as a burg citrus but as riesling citrus. Don’t know why exactly but it just does.
