Community Tasting Notes 2

  November 30, 2022 - Nose: raisin, pear, hints of white flower, sweet corn, mango
  Notes: Drank from a magnum, only 30 of these produced. Still quite crispy in the beginning. Medium palate and quite a round finish. Quite a nice pear aroma in the wine. Unfortunately I couldn't say I liked this too much despite the fact that it is a complex wine. The color of the wine is a little more darker than I anticipated for this age. This wine should be ready to consume now and should last for another 8-10 years at least.

  March 10, 2018 - Dinner for Blair Walter at Noble Rot (Noble Rot, Wellington, NZ): Surprisingly perhaps, a little deeper gold than the other wines. A nose of spices, pears, grapefruit and lemons. For many at this dinner, this Bâtard was their favourite of the four wines, perhaps due to its harmony and balance. It was described as "perfectly formed" and thought by some to be the oldest, most resolved wine of the four. It was quite seamless, with generous, plump fruit and good volume. Mine was a minority view in finding it a little bland and straightforward. Still, it's young and far from a bad wine ... My rating though 4/4.
