Domain des Herbauges Le Legendaire VV Muscadet Granlieu sur Lies 2002, mørk gyllen, klar og ren på farve. Dyp, kompleks og fyldig, osteaktig aroma med nøttepreg. Litt vin jaune, men frisk og syrlig og lang lengde. 4 år sûr lies. For en flott vin! Kveldés absolutte kuriosa i beste mening, og var best til Peccorino med trøffler.

12% abv, 5 years aging on lees in stainless steel. Second bottle, not as complex as the first one I had about 6 months ago. More waxy notes this time with the green apple, persimmon skin, and tart lime zest playing second fiddle. Viscous and unctuous mouthfeel, but not as honeyed or creamy as I was expecting based on my last note. Bottle variation or starting to oxidize? Style & Quality drops to a B (85) and the value starts …

Nose of honey and wax with citrusy-lime, tangerine, melon rind, cheese rind, mineral, and sherry undertones. The palate is "Sauternes-ish", soft and subtle with a creamy texture and a waxy-lemon finish. Lower in acidity than I was expecting from this style, maybe a touch too much oxidation. I thought the 1999 had better complexity and acidity but the 2002 is no slouch. Just not quite there yet. $24 Wine Authorities Durham. High for a Muscadet but the wine is really …

Syntetisk kork. Frisk, moden nese med fjære, honning, nougat og modne sitroner. Frisk og ren, bra spenst. Mindre utviklet i munnen enn på nesa, mye sitron og litt nougat og honning. God konsentrasjon og lengde. Masse salter. Pent utviklet vin, burde hatt noen østers, men god match til buljongtrukket kveite og risotto på fiskekraft. Topp kjøp til kr. 190. 88p.
