Once past the notion that this smells exactly like sherry,.... I dunno, I keep wanting this to be sweeter because the acid/sweet balance feels off kilter. ... I have to capitulate and admit that I just don’t get oxidative styles. I know that makes me a bad person. Perhaps someday I will like them, just not this month.

Oh well, I was hoping the penny would drop this time but, after tasting a producer with Puffeney’s reputation, I have to capitulate and admit that I just don’t get oxidative styles..

I'm no expert but despite Puffeney's reputation and respect, I believe he is one of the more traditional/backwards/difficult producers of Vin Jaune, so not exactly known for being user friendly. They probably need a few more decades and a lot of aged comté. I haven't gotten very into Vin Jaune myself but there are probably some other 'intemediary' producers that might be better suited for introducing you to the genre. If you're interested that is. I haven't dedicated much effort to the project myself.

My WOTN. Nose of brad yeast, mineral with a lot of colophony, a lot of nuts, iodine, and remember me a legume nose of zuccini and a delicate note o green apple. In the mouth is for sure salty, nothing of a desert wine! long and persistent in the mouth with high acidity! yeah oxidative for sure!... i am totally lost!
