Community Tasting Notes 12

  January 5, 2021 - Slo-oxed for 20 minutes to allow the wine to open and to warm a bit. The color is a bright yellow. As several other TNs (esp. rosenst1) have mentioned, the nose and the palate were both tipped toward tropical fruits, rather than orchard or citrus, probably due to the riper year. The nose also showed some oak, which showed on the medium bodied palate as well, especially as the wine warmed. The acidity was not sufficient to balance the fruit, so the wine was a bit flabby. Purchased directly upon release and cellar stored. Can probably hold for several more years, and may, strangely, improve if the fruit fades.

  June 24, 2018 - On downslope. Fatty, wooly overlay with the acid both sticking out and insufficient.. Losing its fruit. Drink up.

  January 17, 2017 - More acidity in this bottle to balance the fruit which tipped this bottle to a solid 90.
