Needed more time. A bit muted but a lot of stuffing behind the curtain.

4 years in barrique with no topping up. Classic Jura oxidative nose (not as intensely rancio as full blown vin jaune) with just bloody perfect balance of high acid and texture on the palate

Just enough depth to push through the onset of a cold last night. Who knows what it would be like with a clear nose. 👃🏻

Soft, gentle and power in same time - complex and finesse paired with a lingering acidity - I love Jura from a long time and it is a classic example of its style - They said today it's #ChardonnayDay #winelover well that doesn't stop me about drinking it all year around and today I spiced it up with some Savagnin 😃
