Community Tasting Notes (average 86 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 1 note)

 Tasted by NutmegNative on 6/17/2013 & rated 86 points: Incredible bracing acidity preserved this 12 year-old wine superbly well. Tastes as fresh as a 1-2 year-old white Alsatian or Northwestern US wine. Absolutely no spoilage. Tastes of tart green apple, lemon, pineapple, citrus. It will be interesting to see how this wine matures even further, if anyone in the CellarTracker community can add to this note. Recommend hold for another decade. (632 views)
