At home with parents-in-law 2008/06/24

 Year  Wine  Price  Rating 
2003 Blain Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet Blanc
Bought at Marina, Foster City during grocery shopping. After removing cap, there is clear sign of heat exposure: sticky bottle neck, soft cork. But honestly I can't tell any damage. This wine is unbelievable for this price. Extremely full body after airing, concentrated, smoky, honeysuckle, honey, mango, slightly mineral, very long finish. Faint hint of mushroom in the nose perhaps due to the heat exposure, but a well-aged Burgundy would have the same aroma. Lovely. Have to go back and buy all stock. - so - ws
