Community Tasting Note

  • hprphf Likes this wine: 99 points

    June 17, 2023 - 00777/3101. Huge and incredibly youthful, so hard to tell the vintage of this wine if I were left to guess. High acidity, tropical fruit, chiseled, pointy, pear, yoghurt, coconut, nutty, so fresh this will probably be immortal (again, like my comment on the 14’). This is a good example of a good amount of age on this wine but it still leaves one to desire the fullness of its immense potential. Contrary to a bottle my friend tasted earlier this year (thanks for the non-invitation haha), I find the less-than-expected amount of botrytis to be not only non-disturbing but also welcomed, adding a layer of freshness in the background and constantly refreshing the wine. Popcorn heaven, mighty guard of crush stone, and balance perfection. 99-100

    P.S. My white wine of the year in 2023, and this was a Monty-plenty year haha.
