a brief romance a year or so ago with 96 Cuvée Angeline and I was hooked on Lassalle. 2012 Special Club recently was way too young and it was recommended I try 2008. It tastes younger than 2012.

A faceful of citrus, it’s a very brash wine that hasn’t even reached adolescence. The fruit is clean and bright, the wine complex and long, but put it away for a decade.

Guys night out at The Tasting Room.
.
Dough/yeast, nougat, burnt caramel, and mocha. Pretty darn complex and rich, yet agile and light on its feet.

Nicely clean nose. Palate is very mineral with some nice fruit. Fruit is dense but not too much. Interlaced with minerality. Salty. Savory. Very nice.
