'2010 Louvetrie Muscadet

[Steve Edmunds]

Heard this name such a long time, never had the wine. Under Stelvin. Lots of freshness, precision. A nagging, won't-go-away suggestion of TCA (!!!) WTF? I don't have the energy to try to explain to myself why that smell is there, but it sure not making me feel too confident about this wine. Anybody else had a taste?

I've gotten mild TCA-like flavors/aromas from young muscadet before that seems to go away with enough air time, and have attributed it to a quirk of the grape. But maybe there's some taint in the process leading up to bottling.
