Community Tasting Notes 4

    May 29, 2022 - 淡金黄色,闻香有酵母的酸面粉团和饼干香味,入口酸度中高,酒液咸,收口甜美,焦糖,白花,混合着橘子和梨的果味,一些面粉团气息,后段白花辛辣,余味是腌梨的味道。一款陈年的白葡萄酒,发展得非常充分,果味成熟,入口香气复杂,没有太多老化的迹象,非常难得地喝到如此成熟甜美风格的老年份长相思

    October 4, 2018 - The wine pours a mature golden color with moderate legs. Given its alcohol content, plenty of time is given to let the wine unravel itself. With time, the nose yields the typical California white profile - bold, intense, plump, buttery and hot. Although the wine is a sauvignon blanc/semillon blend (80-20), the profile reminds me of a Cali chard that has seen a moderate amount of oak as the nose yields buttered popcorn, honeysuckle, guava, peaches, phosphor, toasty oak and sugarcane water. On the palate, the wine is quite slick, oily even, and displays layers upon layers of generous white stone fruits, freshly cut grass, minerals, and lemon zest. The body is particularly commendable, as the power, extraction and oak is counterbalanced by copious amounts of minerals. There can be a bit more acidity to provide uplifting acidity. Finish is quite long, complex and layered as the heat is unmistakably there to conclude the experience. Quite an impressive profile, given that the wine tastes like a generous Meursault that sees racy minerals.

    January 11, 2013 - A magnificent white;medium dry;distinct peach flavor with hints of lime and a fragrance of lavender. Buy all you can get if you like a semi-dry white.
