Community Tasting Notes 21

  November 9, 2020 - Aerated in decanter for 45 minutes, served non-blind. This bottle was definitely in the zone, with plenty of exotic white and yellow fruits, fresh soil and saline notes, and a long cast of supporting actors helping to enhance its complexity. Medium-bodied, with superb balance, structure, etc. That said, I never did feel like this gave all it had, which is to say I think it has some room to improve from here. In any event, it was totally delicious, with several moments that kept me spellbound, at least, in the best of ways. If this is representative, it should drink at this level for another 7-8 years, at least. Held since ~ 2 years after release. Just lovely. highly recommended

  Pnp. Enticing bouquet. Fresh and fruity palate with great finesse and depth. This will drink well for another decade at least.

  August 21, 2017 - Clear, medium intense lemon colour with a green hue (very bad light), developing
  
  Nose is clean with medium intense aromas of almonds, yellow apples, lemon, physalis, nutts, mushroom, something burnt like burnt oak
  
  Palate is dry with medium+ acidity, medium alcohol and medium+ body and flavour intensity/dry exstract with aromas og yellow apples, almonds, physalis, toasted oak, lemon, liquorice/anise, quite complex and not a style i often taste. Medium+ finish
  
  Well balanced, quite concentrated and very complex, concentration leads to quite high intensity and the acidoty carries the finish. As far as the style im not the biggest fan, very interesting wine, but not a everyday thing. Needs alot of air or cellartime. Not sure i think it is worth the price, but very good quality 90-91p

  May 25, 2017 - SLDS May Catchup Event: Blind. Pungent nose, peach, pear, ripe fruit but also under ripe and earthy elements at the same time. Reasonably lean on the palate, the length feels a touch short which is a shame as the rest of the wine is quite interesting. Still good.

  April 23, 2017 - A bit cloudy appearance. Exiting, special and floral aromas , with a touch of fresh bread. Dry and quite intense.
