1997 Le Montrachet, Grand Cru, Remoissenet (Baron Thenard)

• 91 Points from Allen Meadows, who writes: "(from a whopping 1.83 ha parcel of Chassagne vines and the Domaine is easily the largest holder on the Chassagne side). I've had some disappointing Montrachet from Thénard, including the Baron Thénard distributed by Remoissenet but the 1997 isn't one of them. Rich, luxuriant aromas of honeysuckle and ample wood spice followed by forward yet elegant flavors that are impressively concentrated, nicely complex with a silky but intense palate impression. While there is more oak here than I personally prefer, there is no question that there is a lot of wine as well." (Burghound, 10/02, 04/03, with consistent notes)

Eggy:

• 97年的白酒,已經aged 10年顏色呈現深黃色. 裏頭有些許的沉澱物. 聞起來有鼎泰豐沾小籠包醬油+白醋的味道, 一種鹹鹹 酸酸的氣味. 我不是很喜歡酒聞起來有鹹醬油的味道, 紅酒就已經不太喜歡了, 何況是白酒 >,<. 閉氣喝了一口後, 喝起來其實沒有聞起來鹹酸, finishing 先有些許荔枝味, 吞下後鼻腔傳出隱隱的咖啡炭燒味道, kind of dry in the mouth.

• 結論是.....想要達到的微醺因為沒有很好喝而失敗...sigh..不過因為很累 應該還是很好睡啦. Knut說當初標了一箱(OWC), 喝到目前4瓶都狀況不如預期, 因為Allen Meadow 91分的酒實力應該不只有如此.....(會不會之前這箱酒的storage condition is not too good)
