So in a sense it's the oxidation of reductive compounds giving rise to these aromas.<br /><br />I've really come to hate wines that smell like this. Not my bag at all.slatonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620388673974831860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-73284235528292334512010-10-22T13:20:53.036-07:002010-10-22T13:20:53.036-07:00I've had bad luck with Forey's wines, as t...I've had bad luck with Forey's wines, as they always seem very "rustic" to me. And not in a particularly good way at that, more along the lines of inferior vineyard work and indifferent winemaking.Creative Anarchyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03075675370903881596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-272356477626694495.post-56326791197739202372010-10-22T10:29:16.487-07:002010-10-22T10:29:16.487-07:00John-

I find them to have a strange creamed corn/limestone chalk thing that is totally distinctive. Not autolytic to me.<br /><br /><br />Salil-<br /><br />Matthieu Baudry is making wines as reliably excellent as anyone on the planet. If his terroir was in Chambolle, they'd be a fortune.
